Expressive nose of dark cherry, blackberry, violet, cinnamon, cedar. This took an hour or so in the glass to mellow out. Originally was sharp, oaky, hot. Finally smoothed out. Medium+ acidity, tannins, body. High alcohol (14.5%). Medium finish. nice, but the palate doesn't live up to the nose.

Well, the 49ers haven't been doing so well today, but this Syrah was an absolute winner! Hopefully, when the lights come back in the Superdome, the 49ers will follow suit!

A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark purple in color. A full bodied single vineyard Syrah, with black cherry, blackberry, tar and pepper with a spice finish, good juice.

Big dark fruit with some floral accents. Very smooth from beginning to end. Soft finish with dusty finish. A lush wine with balanced acidity.

A deep and rich wine with dark cherry, black raspberry, a little vanilla bean. Smooth on the palate with lively acidity on the finish. Mellow tannins.
