Strong blueberry fruit and deep inky color. Lots of oak, both on nose and palate. Not much complexity, but I'm still learning about Syrah so maybe that's typical. Overall still a little tight so glad I have another bottle. Give it a couple of years...
3/5/13. More raspberry and earthiness in my notes this time. Very closed on opening but relaxed a lot after 30 minutes or so.

Not black, but 85% opaque with purple hue. Brooding dark fruit nose interlaced with toasted oak. Strong concentrated palate. Heavy mouthfeel, coating, and flexing its muscles still with many years ahead.

When I purchased this wine I was wondering why did I get two from the tasting room. Now I remember, this is good juice. Nose of blueberry pie and slight earth tones. Good fruit and strong finish.

This has mellowed nicely in the last few year, super wine. I sprung this on our guest and she was shocked, Paso? Really? Yep.
Dark berry aromas and palate, medium plus weight and coating mouthfeel.
