Decanted. Deep, opaque garnet. The nose shows full scents of blueberry, plum, huckleberry and blackberry notes that mingle with cedar, violets, toasted star anise and fennel seed, smoked meats, herbs, camphor, smoldering incense and baking spice. The palate is full and still youthful showing complex and homogeneous. Full integrated tannins flirt with juicy acidity and above moderate palate density. Flavors show a blend of blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry and plum flavors that weave in notes of sandalwood, baking spice, violets, smoked meats, earth and rosemary and camphor. Long and lingering through the finish. Still going strong! Never a disappointing wine from Rulo

Full flavored, with dark berry fruit, cherry, and a hint of smoke. Very easy to drink this. Year after year Rulo puts out a solid syrah at a very reasonable price.

Pretty good wine. Sad to have drank my last bottle. Don’t think it will get any better. Might try to grab some more at Trader Joe’s.
