Cork completely came apart. Appeared very light, was worried about oxidation. But was delicious….but I never would have guessed Syrah. Tastes just like a Loire Cab Franc.

This was a great, unexpected drinking experience. This was not an in-your-face syrah, and bore no resemblance at all to anything from Australia or even the Rhone. Had a burgundian quality, with red berries and bracing acidity. But there was enough concentration, length and flavor to keep me interested over the course of the evening.

Spices, peppers, smoke, red fruit, and red cherries on the nose. High acidity with medium tannins and flavors of red fruit, grapefruit, and minerals on the palate. Medium finish. Very nice wine, but a bit unbalanced towards acidity.

Spices, red berries, violets, and oranges on the nose. Medium+ acidity with red fruit, bitter orange peel, and herbs on the palate. Good finish. Not quite as good as the 2010 Fenaughty, but nice wine.
