Popped and vinturi'd at the neighbors taking in the X Factor, desparate times call for desparate actions. This wine has a syrah based nose of blackberry, and blueberry along w/a little jam. A medium to full bodied structure, w/good balance and a matching flavor profile. The last one of the 1/2 case purchased sometime ago, but one of the better bottles. Competes w/the Cotes du Rhone from across the pond, at this price point. Good.

Nice nose, featuring loads of spice and ripe raspberries. Medium-bodied with spice box and raspberry also taking control on the palate. Basic, but good.

Perfect wine to warm up with before our Barolo. A little light, but honestly that's part of it's charm. Have always been pleased with this value wine. Well done Phelps.
