These wines were opened but not decanted 4 hours before the event. Served at about 60 degrees. The Syrah glasses were the winners over the Cab glasses...duh.
Just something to sip during "arrival". Yeah, it's not an '09....
A great group of wines, worthy of the hype for the vintage. A lot of ripe fruit and layered textures leaving many a purple tooth in the room!

Light gold in color, this wine has some white stone fruit, pear, and citrus, with some spice and minerality in the background. Very nice slightly viscous texture. Went well with duck fat french fries and a pizza w/ white sauce, garlic, and gruyere chicken sausage.
