86 points. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like candied cherry, black pepper, sweet tobacco, alcohol nose, raspberry and vanilla. It tastes like cherry and cinnamon. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. 3 year cellar age. 1+ hour decant; could use longer.

Not what I expected from a Syrah. More earthy and meaty... Appearance: Bright with a dark purple core showing black secondary color.
Aroma: Aromatic with black fruit of cherry and berry with red berry accents, barrel spice of vanilla, licorice and cinnamon with subtle camphor, cracked black pepper, dried herbs and smoked cured meat.
Palate: Full bodied with black cherry, blackberry jam and raspberry fruit mixed with attractive barrel spice notes on entry. The mid palate features sustained fruit mixed with savory pepper, dried herbs with anise and hints of salumi.

Jammy. Peppery. Long, linear silky tannins. Paired perfectly with a grilled ribeye. Drink now through 2025.
