Raiding City Winery (Chicago, IL): I did like the nose on this more than the palate -- this shows a bit of bloodiness and salinity, as well as some very pleasant red fruit. The palate is a little softer than I'd like, with nothing particularly outstanding. This is pretty much what you would expect from a young syrah -- a bit of crunchy red fruit, a touch of salinity, and a hit of blood. I would have liked this more had the palate been a bit fuller, but this is nonetheless a great bottle.

HDH Burgundy Auction (Chicago, IL): Very nice, at the very least, as a change of pace, given that we've been drinking Burgundy all day. The nose on this shows lovely meatiness with crisp black berries. Very juicy with lots of meatiness. Quite fruity, and I do like the black fruit balanced with the spice and earth.
