  PnD. Deep red berries, blueberries, vanilla, and slight meatiness on the nose. Great texture. Lighter in body but with good extraction. Just fabulous.
  
  Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Syrah glass at 61F.

  Even better than last time. Similar to a higher-end Chateauneuf du Pape. Lots of refined fruit towards the black end of the fruit spectrum.

  Excellent wine. Great fruit and body. Agree about the creamy texture that someone else pointed out. One of the best syrahs I have had.. I wish I had more. No heat on the finish. This wine was very well balanced.

  Outstanding syrah! This wine continues to amaze us. Rich dark fruits and a nose to die for. After tasting rather mediocre for so long, this wine is really coming into its own.

  - Garnet color and aromas of blackberry and cherry. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry, black currant, black pepper and cherry with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a long finish - Excellent wine with distinctive flavors of fruit. Decanted for thirty minutes. Nice pepperiness which complemented our dinner of a Mediterranean spiced beef stew.
