Very good effort typical of Novy Syrahs. A bit hot on the alcohol but well balanced with lots of forward fruit, ripe berries, pepper and some pleasant smoke. Would like to try again in a year or two and would expect more rounded tannins and softer fruit.

Deep red color; dash of pepper with dark fruits on the nose; full body with great structure; a little hot, but not unbearably so; fine effort and still has some aging potential

(Novy Family Wines Syrah Napa Valley) Faint black fruit nose wrapped in caramel; big, sweet black fruit palate, a little hot, with oak showing mid-palate; grainy short-medium finish

Mellowing the edges nicely, but good for another several years.
