Grilled Strip Steaks with Wine (Princeton, NJ): Really an excellent wine although drinking somewhat young. Notes of red, black and blue fruits, tobacco leaf, licorice and tightly- wound tannins.
I picked it to pair with the blue cheese atop the 2 kinds of strip steak - and it did. It was great on its own, too.
Even better with 2-5 years of bottle age.
Drink or hold.

This is really good in itself and off the charts on QPR. Dark wine that has a ton of structure and fruit. Kind of new world meets Northern Rhone. Wish I had more of this.

Dark opaque, brooding color. Rich dark fruit, fragrant spices, mouth coating but not heavy. Some dark chocolate mixed in as well. Halcon wines are consistently good.

This was quite delicious and extended - I tend to like Petite's though. So much better than their regular Syrah.
