  Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind Rhone Varietals (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind. Clearly New World ripeness. Fat start and finish, but slightly hollow in the middle. Still nicely fresh.

  Still going strong. Great Syrah with blackberry, cherry and spices still all nicely integrated with the tannins. It could easily go five more. Was brought to a wine event last night by some friends. Great wine

  RICH DEEP BERRY FRUITS, BLACKBERRIES, CURRANTS, AND BLACK CHERRIES WITH HINTS OF EARTHINESS AND LICORICE. NICE COMPLEXITY AND A LONG FINISH

  Pride, Thackrey, Kapcsandy, Chidaine & Santana (Sharon and Sashi's): Purple in color. Still drinking young and in no danger of going over the hill. I doubt it improves though. The nose has black raspberries, slight floral notes and a bit of black pepper. Just the slightest bit of toasty oak. On the palate, this has tight layering. Juicy acidity. Slight tannins. Lots of black raspberry fruit. Nice finish. Lovely wine.

  Cousin Dave opened this when I picked up a bunch of wine from his cellar. Dark fruited, lots of sediment in the glass, tannins still present, blackberry palate. There is no way one would mistake this for a Rhone wine, but then again, the oak is not overt and the alcohol is in check. As it airs and warms to room temperature, the wine seems to soften and Syrah tire rubber notes emerge, yet the tannins still have a hold on the palate. Overall, rather one-dimensional. I can't see this becoming any more compelling with additional age.
