  Aromatics in full swing on opening. Could drink the wine in by that alone. Medium body and finish. Dark fruits in balance for classic BB syrah

  Appearance
  The wine is deep ruby.
  
  Nose
  The wine is developing and exhibits pronounced intensity with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, black plum, black pepper, dried thyme, cedar, vanilla, crushed stone and grilled red meat.
  
  Palate
  The wine is dry with medium (+) body, high acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, and exhibits pronounced flavors of black cherry, blackberry, plum, black licorice, vanilla, and dried thyme with a medium finish.
  
  Conclusion
  The quality of the wine is very good. It is still developing nicely in the bottle but can certainly be enjoyed now. I am always impressed with the wines from this great Santa Cruz mountain producer. Huge bang for the buck. Life and wine are good!
