Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, May 12, 2009 - An evening with Michael Browne and Jim Mack (La Madia, Chicago IL): nose: very deep and sumptuous nose filled with dark red cherries, olives, black fruits, black currants and bits of charcoal. There is a real cool air to it as it straddles the line between new and old world

taste: big and rich tones with a polished medium/full feel with dark red cherries, red and black currants, bits of spices and black fruits. Nice and deep with rich tannins that make themselves known, but don't interfere too much

overall: has the ability to be a real stunner. This is what cool-climate cali syrah is all about with good fruit flavors, but also some real nice northern rhone flavors thrown into the mix
