This Umpqua Valley Syrah has a very dark garnet, opaque color. The nose is black pepper, spicy blackberry, and astringent ethers. The palate show a round spicy fruit black cherry in flavor, a rigid tannin that will fade with bottle age to a more supple character. Buy and hold if the price is right, drink in 2013.
