Enjoyed this extracted CA Syrah. A bit too much extraction for my taste but still balanced for a CA style, high alcohol wine. At $$55 its QPR is a bit of an issue given what is available in this price range.

Wow! This was a truly amazing wine experience we had on Christmas Day. The spice (especially the pepper) stood up to the horseradish in interesting and truly complementary ways. This has cool climate Syrah characteristics such that in spite of the high alcohol content it does not taste overripe at all. Great acid, great spice, great body. The tannins are tame if you allow it to decant for a few hours—4 in this case—and come to temperature.
