December 18, 2010 - Deep color, nose of plums, spice, and cocoa. Smells a little hot and the alcohol is listed at 15.3. It wears it pretty well, though I can feel the heat after what otherwise is a long, smooth 30 second aftertaste. Black fruits on the palate, jammy, with more chocolate. Drinking very nicely but I can't help thinking picking a little earlier might have resulted in a more food friendly and classic syrah.

August 9, 2006 - Drank this bottle while doing a Syrah tasting with some friends. This wine is dark and inky. It was definitely the biggest of the 5 Syrahs that we tasted. It was very good though. Big, very California, fruit-bomb with vibrant dark berries and red currant. Would have showed more depth with more aging, but a really tasty wine. I would hold on to this one for a year or so, but, you will definitely not be disapointed if you share my impatience and cork it today.
