Big smoky black fruit nose. Palate is full bodied with creamy, black and blue fruit, cracked pepper and vanilla. Good juicy acidity keeps the mid-palate fresh and lively. Medium plus finish.

A big sweet and heady Syrah. Initially shows some heat on the nose but that is consumed by big, rich blueberry fruits. Some pepper adds interest. Large on the midpalate with continued rich, sweet fruits. Some lingering heat is symptomatic. Nice components but not quite singing - will hold and wait for this to come together. (4+11+16+7=88).
