  Decanted 1/2 hr. Drank over 2 days. Day 2 was a little flatter than day 1. Tastes of red & darker fruits. Unexciting. Maybe past its prime?

  I opened this wine and let it breathe for an hour or so. The first glass tasted like oaked raisin juice. It almost did not taste like wine. We drank it over the next hour or two and it became more astringent and unbalanced as it warmed. I don’t know if they still make wines like this, but I hope they don’t in 2023. The style is dead. Yes, you can make an overripe, over extracted wine with decent acidity in Paso but why would you. Truly a horrible wine to any one interested in balance and terroir. I tried it again on night two. The fruit faded and it had an astringent finish with a hot alcohol burn.

  Killer! As Denner wines tend to be. Smoky, deep and dark. Great pairing with a thick Lasagna.

  Sadly my last bottle. Denner wines are never syrupy which I hate. Their wines are always excellent but now priced above what I want to pay like most CA wines. Extraction is incredible. Alban, Araujo Eisele..this is just as good. This Syrah is as good as ANY CA Syrah. Sorry SQN but true.
