Opened for an hour, utilized a Vinturi - at first. Light maroon and a touch of garnet. Red fruit nose of raspberry and cherry, while also showing clay and flower shop complexity. Not full, more on the lighter side with a decent finish. The tannins are a little sharp with a touch of softness. Not on the same level as the '07 or '08, with this being more of a pizza wine. Not for the cellar and I would consume sooner than later. This is still an enjoyable Syrah, just not quite outstanding. Drink now - 2013.
