  Very nice. After a couple hours of bottle air, it leads with nice dark & blue fruit and a touch of black pepper. Med+ body, a nice balance of fruit & structure with a good acid backbone. Probably to drink up soon, but has handled the '07 vintage well for its age.

  It was late in the night, pnp, so not quite fair review. Inoffensive, but I wasn't especially proud of pouring in on New Year's Eve.

  A nice restrained Syrah that brings cooler climate flavors with black fruit, herbs, pepper, smoked meat. Good concentration and low-to-medium intensity. Smooth, well balanced and very easy to drink. Very good.

  New World Blind Tasting Group $25+ (Bin 75): Black opaque core with thin dark purple rim; black olive, new French oak, violets, black pepper, tar; bigger wine, leather, menthol, dark berry, some astringency from the tannin, plush in the middle, very Northern Rhone-ish, powerful, served a little chilled which I think helped along with a 1-2 hour decant; could go many more years; really good stuff and WOTN.
