Nice but lacking depth, power or complexity. Trending towards savory with loads of herbs and earthy elements along with dried red fruits. A nice aromatic nose leads to a somewhat austere palate without much intensity. This is a solid good, nothing more. Still has a reasonable tannic presence but isn't going to get better.

Aged more harmoniously than the last two 10+ year old Cali Syrahs I've had (acidity was the dominant note in both)

Very well balanced, good blend of fruit and secondary flavors. Don't see it getting better, but also no hurry to drink up.
