  text book new world Syrah.
  
  Still opaque at age 10 or so and bursting with juicy black fruits, pepper and some meaty notes. Medium plus finish.
  
  Nothing fancy but very well made and delicious. The structure suggests another decade of life if stored properly.

  Maybe I am an easy grader but I thought this was a good wine. Notes of black fruit, blackberry, herbs and scorched earth. We had this with buffalo burgers and it was a great pairing.
  
  We bought these wines for $10 / bottle on close-out. Incredible qpr.

  In a plastic cup (sigh) at a socially-distant lunch, outdoors. I heard the wine was tasty.

  This came around a bit from 8 months ago. Maybe that was a flawed bottle, or it's getting better. A little fuller this time, with decent Syrah flavors (red fruit).
