BIg, beautiful Syrah. Dark red color, rich nose of smoked meats and red fruit. Huge on the palate, but balanced and distinctive. There is a lot of alcohol in here and big California fruit, but the whole package works well as a whole. Palate of graphite, thyme, smoke, and dark fruit. Moderate acid and soft tannins round it all out.

Decanted for half an hour...poured in and out of bottle four times. This helped a lot. Beefy wine with wonderful bold fruit and tannis that will be even more integrated in a few years.

Only had 3 bottles. One left. Both were easily 93+ wines. Very deep/dark. Long finish and complex. Slight earthy touch. Wish I had more.
