Sunday, March 1, 2015 - When I put this to my nose, I was greeted by perhaps the most beautiful wine aromas that I've had in a long time. And it wasn't just me. Everyone at the wine tasting was commenting on the nose.
IT IS WORTH THE RETAIL PRICE FOR JUST THE NOSE ALONE!
This is a medium+ bodied classic Syrah with very nice acidity and subtle hints of meat, smoke, and black stone.
But Wow for that nose!
$55 OH Retail

Cheers,
Austin
