Nice easy drinking syrah. Fragrant nose of black cherries and licorice with a hint of white pepper on the finish. Nice acidity and good length. Very smooth.

What a shame domestic wine can't be more realistically priced. A very nice, balanced and structured wine that drank like a good Saint-Joseph with some years on it but that Saint Joseph would not cost 35 dollars, more like 18-20.

When we first opened it, it was great, big and bold, but as the night went on it got a bit "muddy" and flabby for me. Wonder would have happened if we waited a few more years.

Maybe beginning to fade a bit?

Perfectly balanced and quite cosmopolitan. Wish I had more.
