This is in a great drinking window right now. Nicely balanced and without flaws. I'd wager that there's a fair amount of whole cluster here which gives it a lively, fresh, and exuberant expression. Definitely tending toward the old world, Northern Rhone expression: definitely not a big new world Syrah nor is it the austere New California version of the grape. I'd say that it likely has some upside for the next 10+ years but it is great right now.

Impulsively opened because my friends liked another Swan wine I served and I wanted to show them something else. This is drinking deliciously right now, probably at a perfect spot for fruit and earth balance. I would definitely order again.

Delicious. Smooth. Liking an "aged" Syrah much better than young ones...
If you're used to BIG, in-your-face Syrah - this isn't it...
