  Unbelievable. Found this rogue bottle in our cellar. Supposed to be waaay past its prime - it was fabulous. Prime consumption probably 3 years ago, but holding its own. Inky dark . No sign of being flawed.

  Deep dark raspberries, strawberries and plums. Finishes with chocolate and acid.

  Upon opening the the essence of black plum bursts from my glass. This is I nice not excellent Syrah. It's well balanced but failed to evolve over three days. Dark fruits, spice and licorice notes. The price point of $37 was a tops for this Syrah. It is not in the fad mode yet.

  Deep ruby color with an austere, red fruit nose. Big red and black raspberry, cassis with noticeable alcohol up front. Nice structure and a medium finish.

  What a great Syrah. It took some time to open up, so I would say it could go a few more years. A decent amount of red fruit on the nose. There was some more red fruit on the palate. The finish was medium, and the wine seemed well balanced.
