I'm a huge fan of this winery and all it's products, but had a bottle of the 05 Top Block and was a bit disappointed. Possibly the only one? Sharp after taste didn't appeal to me. Paired Lowell with wild duck breast though! Maybe one of the other 8 bottles I have will show better!

Color is dark purple/garnet. Nose shows blackberry, blueberry and meat. Soft and smooth on the palate with tart fruit flavors and balanced, but dusty dry tannins. Good length. Very nice overall.

Extremely smooth tannins. Very creamy texture on your tongue. Dark black cherry flavor followed by strong coco flavors. Nice finish with just a bit of acid. Great Syrah.
