I thought this was a nice Paso Robles red wine with shades of greatness. Lacked the density and full body that would allow me to give it 90 points, though I enjoyed it very much.

Took the unfinished bottle of this home from the Haggis aloha party and drank it with grilled lamb marinated in mustard, garlic and soy the next day. A concentrated new world bottling that was still powerful on day 2. Higher if you like this style. 88 points

2/06 blind tasting notes, PF: tasted blind w/ 2001 Columbia Winery Syrah. This was lighter body of the two, and I correctly guessed the hotter climate of the 2. Bouquet: red ripe fruits, cherry, floral. Taste: very soft, relatively long finish but very gentle (nice tannic structure, not at all harsh). A little eucalyptus in the finish? SE notes: bouquet: strawberry jam, apricot, berries. Taste: decent tannins, strawberry, raspberry flavors. Fruit bomb, long finish.

This wine is pretty much at the end of its drinking window. Drink now if you still have some!

Bouquet of raspberry syrup and cassis. Taste: cherries, raspberry, and eucalyptus. A round wine with nice tannic grip.
