Pop and pour. This is an elegant and light-weight syrah. Someone who will remain nameless wondered if it was a pinot noir, although to me it has nothing in common with pinot except the weight. Slight pepper, red fruit, kirsch, garrigue.

Dark crimson in color. 14.8% ABV. Savory nose of dark fruits, olive brine, coffee and flowers. Medium body with medium to strong acidity. A California Syrah that screams Northern Rhone. Exceptional balance. Cherries, game and olives and minerals on the palate. Nice length on the finish. Terrific Syrah from a Pinot Noir specialist. Really well done. Best over the next 2-3 years.

Similar to my previous notes. Tannins are very fine with a chalky texture. A little hot on the palate at 14.8% but paired well with cumin lamb.
