February 6, 2014 - Decanted through an aerator 5 hours prior to consuming. This appears not to be my vintage nor my producer or both because I have not understood two syrahs and now a zinfandel. The wine began with some promise, nice red fruits and spice, but by mid-palate it was gone, completely, no flavors echoing across the palate, no finish, just a disappearing act. Not the type of magic I look for.
