2007 Saxon Brown Syrah Horizontal (Woodbury, MN): Bottle opened 2 hrs before dinner. Horizontal tasting with the Parmelee-Hill Owl Box and Flora Ranch bottlings. Big, ripe cherry & plum nose. Very similar texture as the Owl Box, with ripe plums in the forefront and very rich extraction. Definitely the biggest of the three. Excellent.
Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Syrah glass at 65°F.

Dark dark cloudy magenta. Blueberry, bacon, and baking spice nose. Medium bodied, black cherries, blackberries, white pepper, well integrated tannins, smoke, a touch of heat, and a medium to long finish. Saxon-Brown makes some damn fine wine.
