Deep opaque purple, not quite crystal clear Ripe blackberry flavors and aromas with a hint of chocolate mint. This has really come together quite brilliantly. Showing well right now

Nose: this is a really great nose that I don’t quite know another than I like it. How about chocolate mint, licorice, dark berries Taste: very smooth, great finish of blackberries, blueberries, coal,
I REALLY like this wine.

2003 SQN “Papa” was followed by 2013 Lillian Syrah. With the obvious connection between producer and winemaker Maggie Harrison, this was a fun progression. A more savory wine with a tannic bite, the Lillian Syrah paired perfectly with our dry aged ribeyes. The youthful wine stood up to the side dishes of crispy Brussels and sautéed mushrooms.
Lovely wine right now but will benefit from continued cellaring.

One of the best Syrahs I have had. This is very ready to drink. Lots of energy, but also smooth somehow. Got us all talking.
