As with most Rosenblum wines, this was dark and bold in flavors. Nose of dark fruits, spice and chocolate are followed by blackberry, spice and dark fruits. The wine has a creamy finish with well integrated tannins. A great qpr.

Dark, teeth-staining reddish-purple in color, opened with bold nose of blackberry and smoke; somewhat gamey. Very saturated palate of black fruits, toasty oak, game, smoke and pepper. Strange flavor on the mid-palate that, at first I thought might be cedar, but later decided it was juniper. Round tannins and a long, long finish. Nothing subtle or restrained about this wine!!!

I paid ten bucks for a half bottle. I find it's worth it. I go for quality and not quantity. I like Santa Barbara Syrah. This tastes a lot like others. Very good (85.5).

Like many Rosenblum wines, strong flavor but mellows with some air.
