Another good showing for this wine. Best out of syrah stems. As was the case a year ago, this is a jammy wine that shows some refinement. Even held up well two days after opening, even though I neglected to gas it off.

This was a really stellar zin-based blend. Jammy but in no way overly ripe or extracted. I didn't enjoy this several months ago at Maisonry but thought it was stellar last night.

Jammy. Sweet fruits. I was expecting more smoke/spice/pepper from the Zin, and more grip and tannin from the Cab. Still a tasty wine. I was on a search for a wine to go with a grilled steak - this is not the wine. Not that there is anything wrong with the wine, it was very tasty. Nice aroma, nice dark color, held up well over about 3-4 hours. Could stand some more bottle time and age.
