Decent nose with dark fruits and licorice; not too dry, with plenty of acidity to balance the cherries and berries; decent finish with lots of tannins and ample fruit. Definitely needs a long time after opening to settle down. Nice enough, but questionable qpr - nothing special for that price.

Spicy, peppery fruit forward nose, with a touch of sweet oak; soft, tangy, fruit forward in the mouth, with more of that spicy, peppery cab franc influence leading into a nice fruity, peppery finish, balanced by smooth tannins. An easy-drinking sipper, and even better with the right food - it went really well with wife's Mexican-style cheesy chicken, beans and rice dish.

Muted nose, with darker fruit, umami and a touch of sweet oak; bone dry, with darker fruit and umami in the background, building nicely into an intense, impressively long, bone dry finish, tannins to the front and flavors in the background. It's rated highly by others, but it's a bit too dry and old world for my palate.

Syrah, then seek out some of the wines by Christophe Baron -- Cayuse, No Girls... They can be a bit overdone (a la SQN), but some are just mouth filling goodness.

10/14/2018 8:17:00 AM - At time I did my profile (quite a while back) I was looking to taste every decent Washington red at Central Liquors in Flemington NJ - by far the best wine shop in that region (at that time). Since then I've done projects of tasting every Spanish red (incredible garnachas), petite syrah and zin at Total Wines. Almost done with the zins. I went back to the tasting notes from my Washington red project, and most of my top rated Washington reds were higher end syrahs and syrah blends. You can sort my tasting notes to see the producers. Washington does such a good job with syrah, one of my very favorite grapes. I think you've pointed me towards my next project - thanks!
