  February 7, 2010 - This was a very good, mature and ready to drink Sonoma Cty Russian River Valley syrah enjoyed last night at the Lake Hickory CC with good CT wine buddy neighborbill and spouses. Bill had bottle open and breathing for a couple of hours at home prior to dinner. Thoroughly new world, very good, big, fruit forward, inky black, rich and full bodied yet surprisingly velvety mouth feel, earthy and brooding with an amazingly long aftertaste - do not coming looking for subtlety here. Nose of earth, rich dark stone fruit and tar with a hint of black pepper. Primary flavors included tar, black pepper, dark fruit and currant up front with a smoother earthy and smokey mid-palate. At this price point this wine represents a good QPR, highly recommend this for lovers of big earthy and fruit forward wines.
