  Inky black with dark fruit and smoked game meat on the nose. Follows with blackberry, dried herbs and game meat on the palate. Excellent and becomes more harmonious with 1 hr of air time. Paired wonderfully with a smoked brisket.

  Some Cali Red Samples (My Place - Washington, DC): Medium purple color. Bold and plummy on the nose, some blackberries and black cherries mixed in, backed up by wet soil, tobacco leaf, black pepper and some coconut and root beer. Fleshy and forward on the palate, moderate tannins with a dusty feel, some medium-low acid. Flavors of black cherries, dark currants and juicy blackberries, the fruit is rich but shows a tart, crunchy appeal. Notes of loam, pepper, rainy day and tobacco mix with richer notes of toasted coconut, sweet teriyaki glaze and cedar shavings. Long, full, yet not overpowering. Could open up a lot over the next three or four years, or give it a good, long decant to coax out the nuances. All Syrah, 50% new French oak.

  This is a cool climate Syrah from Monterey County. It is inky in the glass with a nose of blackberry, blueberry, smoked meat, vanilla and the characteristic "funk" of San Saba. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and fruit forward with the same blackberry, blueberry, vanilla and smoked meat as well as secondary flavors of mocha, licorice, baker's spices and white pepper. It has a lengthy, but hardly tannic finish suggesting that it is meant to be enjoyed now or cellared for no more than a handful of years. An excellent wine with a flavor profile very close to the much less expensive Ex Anima Syrah.
