4th Saturday Brown Bagger (R&D's): Double blind. Deep youthful purplish red color. Vanilla, blue fruit, chocolate and black fruit notes. Has a touch of heat as well. Full-bodied. Flavors of black fruit, pepper and black raspberry. Balanced, with a lingering finish. A gorgeous syrah. 93-94 pts. (MM)

This was excellent. About as tannic and youthful as I'd expect from a well made Syrah, especially from the mountain. STarted with purple and black fruits, evolved to have more meat and floral notes. Should have a long life ahead of it still.

Medium red color. Aromas of black cherries, violets and black pepper.. Medium-bodied fruit in the mouth with good depth and length and fully integrated tannins. Despite being from magnum, and not oxidized, but a bit thin and basic on the palate for a Lagier Meredith syrah.

Extracted, yet not syrupy. Acid plus, and lean. I gave the score to the structure of the wine; it lacks delicious factor.
