Was pop and pour last night with a USDA Prime Top Sirloin and a stuffed baked potato with Rogue Creamery Sharp Cheddar and House Smoked Bacon.
Just a minute amount of funk when I pulled the cork, but it blew off right away. Still inky dark in the glass with a great aroma of bacon, game and dark fruit with a hint of vanilla. Palate is straight forward California Syrah with cracked black pepper, blueberry and roasted meat. Absolute perfect match for dinner with just enough tannin to fight the marbling of the steak. Finish lasted a good 45 seconds.

Outstanding young wine. Damn the travel shock. Most accessible 2007 Napa Cab that we have had so far.
