Not well integrated. Nice fruit but overly oaked. Like biting into a tree. Not sure if time will integrate this well. Better with cheeses and dried meats. Second day a bit better but still very oaky.

Wow, what a beautiful full bodied wine. Lots of fruit and a complex finish. The Cabernet, Syrah blend made this an excelent wine for the grilled steaks we enjoyed with this wine. Loved it!!

Decanted and let breathe for 2 hours. Good fruit. Full body. Lots of oak. Drink now.

Very fruity -- almost tart with the syrah dominant.

Wonderful blend of cabernet and syrah...fruity and inky at the same time. Underlayers of butterscotch and caramel in the nose and mouth.
