Slightly sweet nose of raspberry, yeast, lavender, cocoa and alcohol. Rich plum, blackberry, some vanilla. Improved after opening up. Love me my Ballard Canyon AVA Syrahs!

Med+ ruby. Med+ aromas of black currant, black plum, violet, baking spices, leather, mocha. Dry, but quite fruit-forward, with med acid, med+, ripe tannins, and high alcohol. Full-bodied, with med+ flavor intensity, complexity and length, it is hedonistic without being overdone. Barely in its optimal drinking window, it should continue to show well for many years.

Needs another year. Better than 2018, but 2015 and 2012 were best
