  64% Syrah/36% Mourvedre. After 13/14 years still a savory beast. Black raspberry, blueberry, and dark cherry fruit. Big, thick wine with a core of cedar, sage, tar, and black licorice. The Mourvedre really shines here with dense earth and a gamey characteristic to it on the mid-palate. Soft tannins at this point but a delicious long finish.

  From magnum. Just an amazing example of a syrah blend. Smoky and spicy with a soft caressing mouthfeel. Just great!

  Outstanding Paso Robles syrah blend, drinking beautifully at 11 years. Vibrant, dark cranberry and dried plum, with a smooth, tannic mid-palette and long, black cherry finish. Very nice wine, with good years still ahead. Syrah 64% Mourvedre 36%

  Still quite good but would have been better a few years ago.
