Decanted for two hours. Brooding and muscular, bramble-like berries and spice take over the palate from beginning to end. The finish is like a party you don't want to leave. Awesome wine to pair with spicy sirloin chili. Not your momma's usual Syrah.

Tasting, brief note. Comes across as much riper vs the 2009. Good perfume and spice along with ripe black berries and plum. Also very good concentration. Needs another couple of years and I think this will be as good as its 2009 counterpart.

Sappy, highly concentrated fruit, low acid backbone, jammy and lacking in varietal character. A tasty red, but hard to love as a Syrah.
