Took about 3 hours for this one. Out of the gate it was really rough. After a few hours it woke up. Mint, bandaids. Lots of character. I’ll buy this again.

Had a bottle six months ago that was decent, this bottle is well past prime, borderline undrinkable. Some vanilla, some bitter notes, a lot of sediment.

I love reading the reviews on this vintage of this wine. The reviews are spot on. The wine is pleasant enough, vanilla, sweet blackberry, hints of smoke. But as others have noted, even after 14 years, this is a generic, overripe CA red, not a representative sample of a Syrah varietal.

The tannins are still very present in this wine and may hold on for another 3-5 years. Dark cherry along with blackberry, medium finish with soft mouthfeel. Drinking great right now. Was one of my favorites of the evening.
