Ruby red color. Beautiful nose of strawberries. Slight sweetness probably due to ripe, hot year in 2006. Well received by friends. Tasting great now.

Dark color with smoked coffee nose. Some serious power in this wine. Strong tannins so will hold 2nd bottle for another 5 years.

Medium red in color, with nose of red fruit. Cool climate syrah with nice acidity. Tasted of red berries on attack, smooth mid palate and finished with some dark edginess on the finish. Can keep another couple years to smooth out finish but went well with Nan bread pizza heavy on fresh tomatoes.
