Good wine. I liked the previous vintage a lot. This year's has a nice lingering syrupy finish with some apple and strawberry. It's deep ruby in color with a nice balance.

Really enjoyed this fairly big red (even in early summer). With the blend of Syrah, Cab, Merlot (w/ some tempranillo, Mourvede and Petit Verdot), the complex and very deep flavors were intoxicating. Dark fruits-- lots of berries, red and dark, and complex spice like mocha and tobacco. warm and spicy with great freshness and fruit, and tannins that were totally in balance.

Herbal, loamy and dark fruit on the nose and palate. Sweet berries. Has some spiciness and depth but with heat early on.
