balanced but definitely mellowing out. garnet color in the glass and light sediment. fruit is still present. early to mid palette is thin but mid to late palette where the interesting notes are. finish is short. would recommend drinking soon if you're still holding any -- won't improve any more.

The others at the table liked this more than I did. This wine was very Rhone like, deep with minerals and earth and no fruit. The wine has a long finish. Good, but I'm thinking that my bottle was held a bit too long. I'd suggest drinking this up.

4th Saturday group "uptown" tasting (Our house): Opaque inky color. Opens with green, herbal qualities along with dark fruit. Turns to coffee, black fruit and loam. Balanced, with dark fruit notes turning to clay and grapefruit. Nice finish. Initially thought Aussie before moving to Chilean cab.

(Abeja Syrah Walla Walla Valley) Dark in color. A light egg aroma along with game, blueberry, and cured meats. A bit sharp and aggressive on the palate. Hard to see exactly where it is going right now. 97% Syrah; 3% Viognier. Mill Creek Vineyard.
