Community Tasting Note

Thursday, November 4, 2010 - what an unbelievably delicious wine. really this surpassed all expectation and to be honest, i found it one of the best wines i have had in recent memory- it was that good- in some ways reminiscent of a Pax Kobler from '03-'04 with similar fruit and floral qualities but with such openness depth and complexity that blew away any recent syrah- in particular i found this much more on the red-purple fruit profile (rather than black) and with a grippy textured mouthfeel quite unusual for today's ripe round glycerin loaded CA syrahs . previously purchased from winebid for around $20. popped and poured.

deep reddish purple; sweet, somewhat smoky red and purple fruit with soaring floral notes, marked interesting fruit stripe bubblegum and vanilla candy note, with a touch of expresso and pepper; broad round though with some savory grip and layers and layers of flavor that float effortlessly into a decidedly sweet floral finish. Brilliant.
