Not decanted. Gamy, slight chemical, flint and graphite, moldy topsoil, mature red cherry, dry black plum. Smooth and integrated mouthfeel, yet quite rustic. Declined slightly with subsequent glasses. This is like a cross between Cornas and St. Emilion.

Good, clean consistency and purity, but without the oohmph that brings a higher rating.

Last bottle. In the mid-range of the several I consumed. A very nice set of interesting Cali syrah for a very reasonable price. I wish I had more.
