Very deep purple in color. It’s nose was muted, but on the palate, it was ripe and fruity with black cherries, blackberries, and some oak (but not in a bad way). Notes of spice and pepper, were present. Tannins are soft, but still present. Medium to full bodied with a nice finish. Drink or hold.

Thin white rim moving to a very black purple color. Slow even legs. Aroma of dark fruit, dust, and oak. Thick and velvety on the palate, dark fruit at the front moving to sweetness at the back. A soft, velvety, mouth feel. Some spice. This is a very good wine with a wonderful aroma. We loved the 2006 and this is going to be another favorite year.

Purchased at tasting room in Napa. Smooth and balanced. Decanted and continued to improve over 3 hours. A very nice Syrah.
