beautifully BIG FRUITY syrah... has loads of fruity taste but a cab kick to the end. I am SO looking forward to the second bottle... this wine is at it's peak!

Very big and dense syrah. I really enjoyed it. Dark purple with a huge nose of smashed blackberries with black pepper. On the palate it was the same berries followed by a touch of black pepper, crushed violets, and, after an hour breathing, earthy mushrooms.

Had another bottle of this earlier than I expected. This is a well made wine and shows many different faces over multiple days. I just finished day 3 where I had about half a bottle left and the wine lost some of the alcohol taste and exhibited hints of fig and black tea. Smooth with a nice finish. Highly recommended.

Hard to argue with the previous review. Nice flavor profile with a good filling of dark fruits and a touch of spice. A little smoky component which is typical of the varietal but not the overpowering meaty element that encounter in a Syrah which is a plus for me.

Great nose. A bit hot though. I will leave it open for a couple more hours before approaching it again.

Nice surprise. Big, berry and spicy. Great with grilled food.

Easy drinking. Nice fill on the palate with a mod. fade to the finish. Berry and spice in a good balance.
