  Deep garnet. Nose of dark raspberry, chocolate, black pepper, smoke, and cream. Palate is fruit-forward with pomegranate, red berries, and hints of dry oak. Medium-bodied for a Syrah. Loses fruit focus in midpalate, good acidity, dusty earth and leather picks up on the finish. Improves with a few hours of decanting.

  Deep garnet color, smoky cherry and red licorice on the nose. Palate is rich and ripe, showing with pomegranate, black cherry, and spicy raspberry jam. Full bodied with wonderful depth of fruit and nicely balanced.

  Dark saturated color befitting a Syrah. Woodspice, ripe berry fruit, and violets. Sweet, round entry but the finish became almost pickled, dill-like, and dry due to some VA and the wood tannin that surfaced over time.

  Good, good, good. We loved this bottle. Worth the price tag, and worth buying again and keeping some around to see how it progresses after a few years. Big and bold and delicious with my braised short ribs.
