Tasted at Vino wine tasting (Hollywood, Florida). This blend of Syrah (95%) and Petite Sirah (5%) has a very deep purple color and a nose of flowers and dark fruit. It is fruit forward with tastes of blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, cassis, and some white pepper. This Syrah is New World in style ( could be confused with an Aussie syraz ) and had a nice mouth feel. I believe that the dash of Petite Sirah adds to it's complexity and depth. The wine is medium bodied and has a moderate finish. It is nicely crafted and is a good value at under $ 20 a bottle.

Charred chocolate plums. Hollow midpalate. This is a wine of texture, but a little lacking in delineated flavor. Blind tasted, it might remind me of Australia.

Reasonable. Syrah flavors, blackberry, tar & spice. Was terrible a year ago, but has come around.

Nice, lower priced Syrah. Impressed with the body of the wine, and lighter berry notes on the front. Paired well with Salmon and would drink again.

A fairly nice New World syrah. fairly dark plush, but without the over-the-top sweetness of many others.
