California wines but not from Napa: Modern rich fruit with a soft palate and syrah-like secondary components. There was a olive flavor along with blueberry, slight vanilla and underbrush.

Luis goes to Cahill Bistro: 45 minute decant, fairly consistent with the last bottle. Modern rich fruit with a soft palate and syrah-like secondary components. There was a olive flavor along with blueberry, slight vanilla and underbrush.

Another Great Luis Tasting! (Cahill Bistro): 45 minute decant. This style is right in my wheelhouse! These wines are more about decadent fruit than tertiary or secondary flavors, although they are present but more in the background. Lovely black and blue fruit with some spice and vanilla and hints of tapenade. Solid 92, and I would score this higher, but I detected some heat from the alcohol (a big detractor for me).....not sure if it would have dissipated with more time or air. That's the downside to these tastings, small pours and a fair amount of different wines, so hard to really follow a specific wine....especially when you need your glasses for another flight (or in this case, to get ready to leave the restaurant).

Last bottle shared with friends. Delicious Syrah. Bold fruit. Drink or hold.
