Friday, May 23, 2008 - Northern Rhones and other syrahs (Gurnee IL, Jordan's house): nose: right off the bat you know this is a cali syrah in the blind lineup, but this is a really good nose with ripe cherries, blackberries, pepper tones, and candied fruits
taste: big creamy fruit flavors of cherry, black berries, cranberries, and cracked pepper notes
overall: A really great wine. Nice balance ripe fruit with a great attack and smooth finish. It was obvious in the blind lineup where this was from, but it was still really good stuff
