Wonderful nose of licorice, menthol, earth and blackberry. On the palate, it is dark and smokey with tannins creating a spherical structure around a core of notable, food friendly acidity. A pleasurable and interesting wine.

Typical Syrah smokey, spicy rubber nose. Good concentration with cool climate saltiness on palate, not my style. Prefer its Cab even though Truchard Syrah suppose to be Carneros iconic cool climate Syrah.

Very nice, clean, balanced Cali Syrah. Reasonably complex with good finish and length. A real pleasure to drink right now, and has a couple of good years left.

Distinct and richly spiced with deep peppercorn notes complimenting meaty aromas of black raspberry, plum, and dark cherry leaf. Smooth, supple, and persistent on the palate with briary flavors that are neither green nor tired.

Smoke, berry nose. Balanced, less expressive of fruit, good.

Pretty dry. But nice. Less fruit than expected.

Hearty and substantial mouth feel with a decent nose. Spicy finish.

A very savory syrah: meaty and earthy with a touch of spice. A hint of sweetness in the aftertaste rounds out the experience.

Taste Napa Valley [Vancouver, Canada] (Fairmont Hotel, Waterfront): Smoke Meat, Good Nose, A Cool Climate Style I really enjoyed this wine. Was not over the top that some Warmer Syrahs can get
