I was pleasantly surprised by this wine. For the price, this was one of the better Cali Syrah/Grenache blends i've tasted, though I agree with one reviewer that it tasted more grenache than syrah, even though the blend itself tasted very Jam-y as if it was Zin. Very well melded with a sweet fruit taste...it revealed some nice structure the longer it was in the glass. I've had 2 bottles so far and wouldn't hesitate to purchase, though some more age would really make this a much better wine.

At its peak now. Deep dark fruit. Syrah is softened enough to be very pleasant and it has that dark backwards grenache flavor.
