A big, bold wine ,75% Syrah, 25% Petite Syrah , 15.6% abv. A commanding presence, very rich and concentrated dark fruits, blackberry plum blueberry. Lots of spice, cinnamon, baking spices. This 2008 seems to be on it's downward descent after recently peaking. Long finish. Wonderful nose

Found this to be delicious and not at all on the decline. Paired with duck. Full bodied - but not teeth staining - new world syrah that is smooth and complex.

Having recently drank this vintage I gave it a 2 hr decant which wasn't enough. This wine really evolved over the time it was open. Incredible wine, rich flavors, blackberry pepper raspberry leather blueberry . Great balance and a long finish.
