Saturday, January 13, 2007 - A trace of heat on the palate mars this otherwise excellent wine. I would have guessed Northern Rhone if it had been poured blind, as this tasted like a 100% syrah to me. Complex, earthy, and meaty, with loads of ripe, crushed dark fruit. Sexy, lush texture, and a strong, building finish. I'm not sure how this will age due to the high alcohol, but it's drinking beautifully now, and is a great value.
