PnP. Color is deep ruby. On the nose: Dark chocolate, plum , pepper, cinnamon, violets and cassis. On the palate: Plum, dark chocolate, tart cassis. Finish is on short side. Solid wine. Worth trying.

Quick Visit to Ridge Lytton Springs (Healdsburg, California): 86% Syrah. Clear ruby core with fading. Attractive but generic nose without a lot of Syrah character. Chocolate, black fruit attack with medium weight, good acidity, and moderate tannins. Tart and simple. Having tasted some Paso Robles Syrahs last month, I am struck by how relatively light and uninteresting this is.

Aromas of bramble fruit and red currants accented by a faint herbal and peppery note. The palate has a pleasant mouthfeel with no hard edges, showing notes of blueberry, blackberry, thyme and baking spice.

Decanted 90 minutes. Ruby to black in color. Bright spiced blackberry and blueberry nose. Heavy bodied, moderate acidity, dry, tannic, and fruity. Palate of blueberries, currants, blackberries, and cherries. Heavy round tannins. Moderate fruity blueberry and blackberry finish with black pepper and tarragon.
This is fruity and approachable with a decent decant, but the wine seems to be lacking personality. I rather spend the time and decant a bottle of the Lytton Estate Syrah instead of drinking this.

Old world taste - lighter than our usual throw-downs, but probably nice in lieu of a puny Pinot Noir in the heat of a gulf coast summer.
