Sunday, September 18, 2011 - Blind Wines and football (Phil's place, Chicago IL): nose: upfront and forward nose of black fruits, blue fruits, spice tones and blueberry pie tones. Balanced, but lacking some depth
taste: full bodied with good supporting tannins and medium acidity and plump tones of blue fruits, spice tones, dark red cherries and blueberry pie tones
overall: this did come off as a cali syrah blind. On the forward side but balanced with the fruit. This seemed like it could basically just use a 2 hour decant at this point
