  Neighbors brought this over on 8/29/15 when a severe storm knocked out power and we had a "Syrah by candle light” tasting. It had a deep, ripe and complex bouquet of smoked meat, blackberry, blueberry, plum, licorice and spice aromas. The palate was rich, ripe, dry and nicely integrated with flavors that followed the nose. 91+

  Very nice. Gorgeous ruby red. Oak & cedar nose. Delicious deep dark (not sweet) black cherry and blueberry palate. Bright acidity. Hold onto it some more if you're so inclined.

  Very nice Shiraz. Dark in color and holding up nicely. Tannins are smooth and the fruit is not too much. Last of 6 bottles.

  Good, solid shiraz w/ blueberry, blackberry and cocoa notes. A hint of sweetness from the fruit. Little if any oak, which was a pleasant surprise. Tannins are pretty mellow at this point. Probably not going to improve much with any more age - drink relatively soon.
