Deep dark fruit, chocolate, and red licorice on the nose. Deep and dark in the mouth, but with good acidity to balance things out. Drying dark chocolate and dark berry finish with a touch of something savory. Rulo is a guilty pleasure. Not my typically preferred style of wine, but quite delicious.

Brought it to a party and only had a sip...but it was a good sip. Very smooth dark berry fruit with a touch of sweetness. The oak that was so noticeable in our previous bottle seemed much more well integrated.

Young at this stage, so let this wine breathe! After decant, scents of dark fruits of perfumed blackberries and plum, grilled meats, pine needles, violets, tar, clove and ground ginger, waft up from the glass with ancillary notes of molasses, sweet oak, charred rosemary, and balsamic reduction. On the full bodied palate, concentrated and intense flavors of balsamic macerated blackberries, black plums, violets, espresso, red meats, vanilla, clove, ground ginger, dark chocolate and pencil shavings are stout but approachable. This juvenile has bright moderate-plus acidy making it food friendly begging for red meat. The moderate level tannins are well integrated and grippy. Mid palate density is moderate+. Dark fruit flavors, vanilla and balsamic linger through the long intense finish. This vintage appears to be similar in style to Paso Syrah. (Amazing price point for this quality to boot)

Wow. Very impressive Syrah! Big fruit...blackberry and plum. Dark chocolate, espresso and a dollop of vanilla. Love it! Was still rockin' on day 3!
