Nose of sweet blackberries and blueberry pie. Palate shows a very correct and focused Syrah with some prettiness and grace. I get black berries, black raspberries, violets and warm blueberries. Somewhat simple but pleases nonetheless. Balance is very deft. tannins seems nicely resolved and acidity spot on. One of the better QPRs around when it come to Cali Syrah. Finish remains strong.

Outstanding wine. Glad I held it until now. Soft tannis, yet well structured, strong, and flavorful. Paired nicely with grilled cheeseburgers and grilled vegetables. Typical of the Andrew Murray Syrahs from this vintage, most of which were excellent.

Wonderful, especially with steak diane...robust and full of rich flavors.
