  Nice bottle. Good finish and mouthfeel. Nice barnyard and currant/blackberries on the taste. Just doesn't have the power of its Old World cousins.

  Nicely structured Syrah with plenty of black pepper, smooth tannins, tones of earthy clay, licorice and sandal wood (!). The wine is still a bit tight but opened up after a couple of hours in the decanter. This wine actually used to impress me a bit more and give a sense of Mr Tolmach's attitude "I don't care the slightest about the wine critics". This being a good effort and a truly nice wine, in terms of complexity it is less of what I expected given previous experiences.

  Lots of cherry hit you at first, but not with much behind it. Seemed stronger a couple years ago, but as it settles down there is not as much depth as I originally thought. Totally dies overnight, so if you have it drink up.
