Almost two years since I tasted my last bottle of this and it has developed nicely in bottle. Aromas of blackberry, tar, herbs, and violets on the nose. Tastes of blackberry, plum, herbs, and black pepper on the palate. The acidity and tannins complimented each other providing an amazing mouthfeel and texture.

Aromas of fresh green herbs (rosemary, sage), ripe black cherry and ripe blueberry, boarding on blueberry pie. The palate has more "baked" flavors and fully shows blueberry pie/pie crust with a rush of vanilla and smoked wood at the end of the palate. Full bodied with high alcohol. Overall I find this VERY "warm climate" feeling and somewhat disjointed.
I think it just needs time to come together. Or maybe a longer decant. I like both producer and site enough to give it another try in a couple years.

Wow! Fantastic! One of the best syrahs I have ever had!. Bright red fruits on the nose with hints of pepper and bacon, but in a, dare I say, feminine way. The mid palate is solid, well balanced. Acidity makes it food friendly and have ability to age well. Very highly recommended!

My nephew likened it to pepper jack cheese, and he was not wrong.

Drank over two days. Nice smooth Syrah with silky dark fruit and easy tannins.
