A big nose in the classic buttery, rich, Creamy, spicy oak style. I got lemon curd, ripe apple, Asian pair, Kiwi, vanilla, and almost a hint of peach. Full body, long finish that begs another sip. It’s all there. Yummy. For fans of big rich creamy Chardonnay with lots of fruit extraction it's all there. Yes!

fruit forward big black fruit, spice, roasted meat fat (bacon),, exotic herbs, layers of black fruits (blackberry, blueberry, plumb, black-cherry,) focused lingering finish. I give it this rating for the high quality to price ratio. It's a great find!

I find this syrah represents excellent varietal character - someone above who said it's strong nose and taste is a positive. This is a full bodied extracted wine with loads of brooding black fruits, dusty earth, cigar box, tar, and black pepper. It's mouthfilling with lush soft yet chewy tannins. It's got a long lingering finish begging another sip. If you love big unctuous syrah's, this is it.
