More fruit forward than typical syrah (similar to other CSMs) but also more cigar box and oak. Tannins in threads providing structure. Moderate mouthfeel and length. Went well with sausage/shrimp/veggies grilled on skewers.

Lots of lush fruit, equally lots of earthiness, mineral and tannins. Spice and pepper on finish
Currently the fruit says Washington; there is potential for an intriguing development of ripeness into more nuanced, but still not subtle, game and savoury characteristics

In a few years this might very well be a great wine, but right now it is too tannic and earthy to be fully enjoyable. Incredibly inky. Suggest this might go well with something like ribs or spicy pork.

Excellent CSM Syrah. Blackberry and black raspberry nose, medium to full body, well balanced and great finish. Was perfect with steaks.
