Deep dark red center, red rim with some signs of age. Smoked meat, plums, black cherries, pepper, a bit of polished leather. Very smooth, mature, blackberries and black cherries, okay acidity and tannin, nice greenness, great grilled meat finish. Excellent Syrah in a quite old world style. Last bottle unfortunately, drinking well now with another few years to go.

Deep dark center, red rim with some signs of age. Sweet, pipe tobacco, pepper, green, smoked sausage, marshmallow, very "blue". Smooth with mature fruit, plums and blackberries, modest acid and tannin, excellent length of sappy mature dark fruit. Excellent Syrah that leans more to the old world. Could be a solid Cote Rotie. Good now, and good over the next 5+ years. Great QPR.

Late in the night so no formal notes but this punches way above the $15 I paid for it in PA. Well done Syrah from Edna Valley.
