Very soft, gentle style, which I like. Has a creamy texture with just a hint of white pepper on the finish. Very friendly, approachable and satisfying. Drinking great right now; no need to wait.

nose: well balanced and excellent nose of dark red fruits, black cherries, red currants, bits of spice and camphor. very good depth with good fruit that is very pungent
taste: medium/full bodied with a real silky and smooth feel with tones of red currants, black cherries, bits of spice and smoke as well as some black fruits
overall: A lovely central coast syrah. Good fruit, but far from overdone with a real suave feel. This was double decanted for about 3 hours, so it saw good air. There aren't any big tannins and the fruit is real good right now, so there probably isn't much of a reason to age this

Nice and lush Syrah. Great value. Better than the 06 Rubicon we had last night. Good small winery.

Wonder rich plummy wine. Mild not too intense. Nice to sip slowly.
