Very good. The wine has backed off its exuberant youthful profile, and now offers a refined and integrated profile. Interesting nose of raspberry, earth, and mint. On the palate, spicy raspberry, with notes of pepper and mushroom. Acidity is perfect, and makes this a very nice food wine. Wish I had more.

Ripe berry nose. Very intense cranberry, bright blueberry flavors. High acidity but fullbodied. Needed food due to the high acid feel. It had a ripe, "sweet-tart" component to it. If the fruit diminishes (it will) the acidy will be hard to handle. Drink by years end.

Really sour cherry flavors. Very acidic in the mouth. Aftertaste is just harsh. Very much (unfortunatley) like the 02 Roasted Slope Syrah. Avoid.
