  Getting more "Rocksy" with time but still heavy on the Viognier profile in the wine

  I was expecting an extracted, syrupy Syrah, but what I found was a balanced, medium bodied, elegant Syrah that stays true to its Northwen Rhone roots. While still on the young side, it opens up after a 1-2 hour decant.

  Lovely Syrah, co-fermented with a touch of Viogner. Fabulous paired with a simple grilled flatiron steak, sautéed mushrooms, asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes.

  Life is short and the world is a dangerous place. Opening a $75 wine on a Thursday night seems like a good idea.
  
  Some Rocks funk with a lower acidity than expected. Smooth mouthfeel and easy drinking. Not sure that this really needs anymore time.
