Agree with other notes. This is very delicious, and my kind of syrah style. Love the combination of meat, onion compote, cranberry and rose hip together with the lightness of the mouthfeel.
The two vintages I have tasted of this wine (05 and 06), is together with F. Becker's Spätburgunder "B" 07 the red wines that have offered me most drinking pleasure at this price level the last couple of years.
Note: Even better on the second day

Beautiful nose here — grilled meat and black fruit in equal measure, plus a hint of pepper. It's not particularly focused on the palate, but it's nicely structured by tannins and acidity and shows a nice kick of pepper to compliment the smooth black raspberry flavors. It's fresh enough that I believe the label of 12% abv. Just as good on the second night as on the first.

Really lovely Syrah. Vibrant, mineral, acid. Not a deep wine but flavorful and well made.

This wine is not for everyone. For me it was shockingly good. Beautiful aromatics. Super smooth and easy drinking. Pure fruit!
