Similar notes as previous tastings, though I get a more heat on the finish. I am not a points guy, but this is not a 90+ wine to me. $17 is ok but I would rather pay low $20's for Result of a Crush any time.

Over two days... big full dark berry with a bit of pepper and smoke. Medium+ body with medium length finish. Nothing revelatory but a pleasant bottle for $17. I don't think it will get much better at this point, but should drink well for another couple of years.

Enjoyed this bottle last evening. Bottle had evidence on side after storage but all was well. Very enjoyable and definitely measured up on my list of fine WA syrahs. Full bodied, easy to drink, with an attitude toward the grape. I had a glass and then decanted for an hour and that proved much better. Just right timing for this 2006. Look forward to the 2007 I have on the shelf!

Big purple fruit bomb. Nice fruit but a bit monolithic.
