Dundee Hills Passport Weekend; 4/17/2010-4/18/2010 (Dundee Hills Oregon): The nose is dark and rich showing blackberries, a hint of meat, and cloves. Even blackberry flavors start out on the palate, and a hint of pie crust and brown sugar shows through later, which I'm inclined to attribute to a good use of oak.

This wine sings.......... it is pure heaven. The nose is filled with complex berries, rich coffee and exotic spice. Tastes of old world, refined luscious berry, pepper, mineral, chocolate and clove. There was so much going on in this wine it was a fiesta in my mouth! From the first to the last drop, this wine is one of the best local Syrahs I've ever had. The 4 years in the bottle were worth it. Drinking well now, but could use another few years of cellar time to improve.
