Lots of wines at Tommy's Clambake (Tommy's): I liked this one a lot. I hadn't had this vineyard since Clos Mimi stopped making wine. Purple/ruby in color. Very elegant, yet powerful. Black raspberries. Refined and complex on the palate. Layered and delicious. Nice finish.
Dark dirty red. Blueberry pie, leather, and spice nose. Medium bodied, fruit-forward black cherries, blackberries, lots of black pepper, cedar, light tannins, some heat, a bit of tar, and a medium finish. No meat or bacon whatsoever. Very Aussie shiraz-y.

This a very, very nice syrah. Has everything that I like in syrahs---big, fruity nose; abundance of fruit without being a fruit bomb; balanced tannins and some spiceyness. Medium finish. Beautiful color. Take a sip and enjoy this for a while before swallowing. Great with B-B-Q (we had ribs) and wonderful to drink solo. This is the kind of wine you bring to parties if you want to receive plenty of praise.

Dark color in the glass. Notes of menthol at first time upon pop and pour. Very fruity with little to no tannin. A very enjoyable Syrah.
