Great dark color, some dark fruit as well as some leather and heavy, heavy cedar box. Nice full body and excellent weight on the palate. The only problem I see here is that the oak was way overpowering. I am normally not turned off by oak, but when it dominates the wine and hides the fruit almost completely I have a problem. – JD88

Good wine, will definitely buy again. Actually I might go buy some more today. HurrahSyrah's notes from 2007 are right on. Nose smelled like hot jam, but there was no heat in this wine. Very good food wine and by itself as well.

Black fruit. Sharp acidity. Not to old

Nice structure. Some earth tones with mature red cherry. Glad that this is drinking nicely even though outside of my drinking window.
