Big vegetal smell this time. Last time smelled funky but within norms for Syrah. Never got much better. Taste was still okay. I've had this 3 times and liked the first 2 but not this one.

This was quite nice upfront, really enjoyable Cali Syrah, but it really lost it in the end with one of the shortest finishes we've experienced - Dark, concentrated, with plum. blueberry, spice and vanilla on the nose, fine tannins initially, fading to a very smooth mid-palate with an imperceptible finish, strange, but a nice quaffer that I would probably buy again for the price (87 Points).

Tasted like an organic wine, unfortunately.

I like this inexpensive Syrah. Good aromatics and acidity. Lucious mouthfeel. Balance elegant style but lots of flavor. Rhone style.
