Still the same. Clear med + Ruby core and light purple rim. Clean nose of blackberry, blueberry and a subtle cedar smoke. Palate is med tannin, med acidity with bold fruit consistent with the nose. Med + alcohol, Med + body with nice balance and lots of life. Wonderfully drinkable now.

Nose of blackberry, smoke and vanilla. Rich mouth. Some vanilla again on the finish, but enough acidity to keep it balanced. Still, I would not think this is a wine to age, since I'm guessing that once the acidity fades the wine will likely lose its balance.

This 2007 Syrah dominated blend continues to age nicely. Dark color, medium body with smooth finish. Drink now through 2020.

My last bottle and did it ever blossom. Smooth and flavorful, pleasant finish.
