Nice syrah from a great vintage. Decanted for an hour which opened the wine. Paired well with blue cheese hamburgers and sweet potato fries. Dark berries with medium smooth and refined finish.

Certainly still a baby, though like many of the 2012's the fruit is up front and in charge. There is some good funk to the nose, followed by a blackberry and black pepper combo on the palate. There is a significant amount of grainy tannin in the finish, which rounds out quite a bit after about an hour and a half. Try again in a few years to see how it develops.
