Tasted blind, I would have said Northern Rhone. Missing is the overt Syrah quality that is unmistakable, and probably the result of over-extraction. This is a big plus for me. Beckoning nose, good fruit on the palate, and a pleasant acidity that helps produce a fine finish.

An intense wine that leaps from the glass. Blocky spices, not quite as lithe as black pepper but more allspice. Intensely stemmy in the palate, with lots of green spice. Intense dark red fruit. Long finish that becomes obvious on green stems.
Intense wine, big and flamboyant, somewhat lacking in precision.

Tastes like a Northern Rhone wine. Good acidity and minimal oak influence. Lacking in overt Syrah character (a good thing for me). Light bodied, but packed with flavor.
