January 15, 2008 - Very nice wine. Dark fruits but well balanced with hints of earth smooth tannins all coming together nicely.

November 17, 2006 - Auspicious timing since other Foxen syrah notes just posted and I just uncorked a bottle. Dark, blueberry dominant fruit, nice acidity, some minerals and hint of spice. This syrah is ready to enjoy and enjoyable it is.

October 12, 2006 - Exhibits pomegranate and cranberry upon opening. With time and air, the wine picks up weight and becomes more plush. Blueberry, plum, and bacon fat. Medium-high acidity. A lighter style syrah that would go well with food.

September 9, 2006 - Blueberry and smoke aromas. Dark plum and grilled meat flavors. Medium body. Decent daily drinker, but nothing really too special.
