Opened with a short decant. A dark ruby color with medium density. Aromas of black cherry, dried herbs, eastern spice, cracked pepper, with hints of cedar. Lots of red fruit and spice with some savory notes on the palate- cherry, currant, cinnamon, tea, olive, black pepper, and vanilla. Rich and silky feel with polished tannins. Nice length on the finish with ripe with notes of blue and red fruit. I purchased this a week ago at the winery... it's a superb value for an aged wine of this quality in its prime.

Nice mix of fruit and mineral nose. Smooth tanins crisp finish. Not quite ad bold or complex as I'd like it to be but an excellent syrah none the less.

Great value for this full-bodied wine; initially thin but builds volume and density as it opens up. Lots of black plum and blackberry flavors plus the acidity of a good pluot. Very nice wine at about $20.

Bob at Pete's Wine Shop in Bellevue recommended this pleasant wine. Clearly some talent crafting it.
