Community Tasting Note

CMz Likes this wine:

Friday, January 25, 2013 - Opened and 90 minutes air in the bottle. Dark, rich purple. Cherry, cherry, green olives and smoke blended in with a distinct coffee note on the nose. I did not recall the coffee note from earlier tastings - a nice surprise. Pretty much the same on the palette - this is a big syrah - not a surprise given the winemaker but unlike some of his efforts this is very nicely balanced & well integrated start to finish - a long wonderful finish btw.

Note to self - this wine needs food - meat to be precise. This was blind in a shiraz/syrah tasting & showed well vs the Aussies. Note to all - Also in the tasting was the '07 Grand Reve Collab III syrah which blew it's doors off at less than half the price - hint, hint!
