  2007 Duck Pond Syrah
  
  •The Stuff: 96.3% Syrah and 3.7% other reds, aged 11 months in French and American oak, 13.5%abv, 5900 cases produced
  
  •The Swirl: Dull thin plum color
  
  •The Sniff: Moderate nose with hints of oaky vanilla and only a whiff of dark berry fruits. Very little spice or fruit as you would expect from a Syrah (even a lower priced Syrah)
  
  •The Sip: Very hollow on the palate with only hints of fruit. A mellow mouth fell with a smooth finish that trails off quickly.
  
  •The Score: At $12 retail, I score this 2 out of five. While there is nothing wrong with this wine, it doesn’t provide much to make it stand out even at $10.

  We really enjoyed it as a pairing with grilled chicken. Good nose and tasted huge berries. Recommend drinking now although it does seem that it could have modest staying power. Good value dinner wine.
