I found this a mild syrah and in a blind tasting would have thought it was blended with merlot. Full bodied with a little heat on the finish that burned off in the glass. Open now in with the next 5 years.

Deep inky purple color. Nose of leather, black cherries, and black berries. Tastes of black fruits, tobacco, and black pepper. Big drying tannins. Needs additional time in the bottle to balance everything out. Definitely see an upside to this one.

This wine could use a little more time. The tannins are still a little strong, but otherwise this was pretty nice with good dark fruit and a little tobacco and leather.

First of my 14 Keplinger Syrahs- so enjoyable. A lot going one. Glad I waited based on other reviews. Good stuff.

Give this another couple years. Dominant tannins. Promising.
