On the nose I got anise, spice, blackberry, blueberry, pepper, sage, herbs, some funk, and plums. I love when Syrahs have some herbal notes on them. In the mouth I found cranberry, plum, pomegrant, cherry cola, and just the slightest spice. The herbal notes from the nose didn’t follow through to the mouth and I also found the wine to display more red fruit than I would have expected based on the nose. I did enjoy the cherry cola hint in the mouth!

Plum, currant, strawberry on the nose. An explosion of fruits: plums, cherries, strawberries, raspberries. Creamy strawberry mid-palate. Currants, cassis, more fruit, a hint of black pepper on the finish. Very new world. The fruit is very pure, not over-extracted.

FamilyWinemakers of California; 3/20/2007-3/21/2007 (Pasadena, CA): Smooth syrah with red fruit aromas and flavors and an intriguing garrigue spice note. Not as complex or structured as Twisted Oak's from this vineyard.
