Excellent expression of California syrah. The syrah has a nose of fruit, spice, white pepper and some oak. In the mouth, there is fruit, smooth tannins and a long finish accentuated with white pepper. It is ready to drink but I believe it will hold for another couple of years if properly cellared.

14.5% ABV. Dark garnet, deeply colored. Slight peppery toasty oak nose. Medium-full bodied. Oaky, short. Somewhat angular, but not tannic. Slightly hot? Unremarkable.

Solid, mature syrah. Fruit forward, with integrated tanins and oak. Excellent QPR.
