Very nice, but a bit in your face, particularly when compared with the 2007 JC Cellars Fess Parker syrah. Well balanced with intense fruit and evidence alcohol hotness. Very nice for sipping and goes well with sweet, meaty foods.

Los Angeles Rhone Rangers Tasting (Viviana (Downtown LA)): I far preferred the Devil's Canyon Syrah to this. This wine apparently had 3% Cab. Sauv in it, and from the nose, I would probably not have guessed this was Syrah. This felt over extracted with very dark fruits and some cassis on the nose. This was very full-bodied on the palate and had a tannic finish that moved in the coarse direction.

Not my favorite style of wine. Over extracted dark fruit, jammy and nearly off dry. A better match for chocolate than dinner.
