  PnP, as we were uncertain as to this wine's progress (previous TNs with any info are 2 and 3 years old). To our positive surprise, this wine has progressed very well. In fact, we delayed dinner for 30 minutes so that the wine could aerate, at which time the wine was smoother and more balanced than initially.
  The color was a deep purple to a medium purple rim. Lots of dark fruits and some earth on the nose. The medium to plus bodied palate showed blue and black fruits, some dark red fruits (which increased as the wine gained more air), spice, and touches of chocolate, coffee and earth. The acidity was up to the job of balancing all these flavors and any tannins were completely integrated. This wine should hold for several more years.

  Deep dark burgundy color and a blueberry nose lead to a flavor of intense dark fruit. Balance is good with the fruit covering the tannins and heat under control. This is a very well made wine.

  Another excellent wine. This has tons of fruit and I noticed a bit of spice on the back end. It’s got some tannins too. Overall an excellent syrah.

  Beautiful wine here. Nice creamy texture of flavors up front with the fruit profile of blackberries, boysenberries, and plums. Nice core of black licorice, mocha, and cracked pepper. Nicely balanced, smooth tannins on the long finish.
