Bennora Comes to Town! Many Syrahs are Had! (DeeCee): Reddish purple. Tangy red fruit, spice and mint on the nose. Decidedly red fruited and quite subtle in its profile which comes off almost tart. This is not like my last couple bottles that had more deep and dark red fruit. Definitely a pretty expression but less classic.

Deep dark red, somewhat opaque. A: meaty, gamey, very heavy pepper and iron. F: similar to the palate with deep, dark, savory, almost salty fruit. Intriguing and delicious wine, fair amount of complexity. Bumped up a notch as second day was similar but even more complete. Olive tapenade running through the palate. Really nice.
Prefer this feral expression a lot to the Perli syrah. But no surprise here, as I find just about all Valenti vineyard wines great (Drew, Phillips Hill -- Pinot, Syrah, and now Chardonnay too).
