Drinking very nicely right upon open. I preferred Phelps Surahs to their cabs in this era. Nice fruit with pepper and earth notes. Paired very well with a New York.

Clear medium ruby color. Clean nose of medium intensity with aromas of black cherry, and not much more. This wine is simple and is developed. On the palate it is dry with medium acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, medium body, medium flavor intensity of dark fruit. The finis is medium minus. Drink now, will not improve with aging.

Popped and poured. Outstanding nose, showing blackberry, smoke, and loads of barnyard. Blackberry and leather commingle on the palate, with a touch of smoke lingering on a bed of fading acidity. Silky mouthfeel.

Very nice Syrah. Deep colour with a long finish. Rich dark fruit. Slightly light on the acidity, or would have been even better.
