I PNP'd, dark fruit on nose, the palate was extremely smooth, with dark berries and leather being predominant, really nice smooth finish, what it lacked was the spice that you normally find in a Syrah. It was almost like drinking a merlot but it really complimented the pan roasted salmon it was served with.

Has the big, dark fruit of a warm climate Syrah, but also a thread of cool climate acidity running through it. That might be due to the 5% Viognier. Also, a some sharp tannins remaining on the back end.

Similar to previous bottle, but I liked this one a bit better.
