Showing a wonderful richness in the nose, notes of clove and wood smoke. Full on the palate with dark red fruits dominating the front. The mid-palate is burnished smooth and well balanced with acid and a bit of cinnamon. The finish is surprisingly bright with some still tight tannins and a hint of that smoke flavor on the end. Overall this is a wonderful example of how classy and age-able Syrah can be :-)

Very solid red, beefy and full on the palate but a bit clunky and lacking in smoothness. It could probably age a bit still feels a bit disjointed.

Very new world in style and rich on the palate with dark fruit notes. A more hedonistic style Grenache made for the US market.
