Wonderful peppery syrah. Deep garnet in the glass. Nose of blackberry and smoke. Rich blue and black fruit upfront wrapped in pepper crusted roast beef notes and cedar smoke. Full bodied wine with deep tannins. Need to eat something very rich with this wine.

Pepper everywhere. Mellowed over drinking window all notes balanced with pepper.
The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes like tea, tobacco and stems.

Black pepper and dark fruit aroma. A little acidic imbalance. A mix of dark fruit and black pepper flavors. Decently long finish.

Far too peppery. This was an unpleasant experience.

A little spicy, but great balance between the fruit, alcohol, acid and oak. Not a ton of tannin, but some is there. Paired well with grilled steaks.

Interesting blend where syrah highlights the dominant mourvedre earthiness. Interesting nose, some tannins lingering on palate - a wine for food

Bouquet is barnyard floor and smoke. Flavors of black pepper, cherry, and cedar.

Beautiful spice and complexity from a CSM wine! Well worth the price point.
