  This was a pleasant surprise. Black wine with lots of meaty, coffee and dark fruits. Nice mouth with good grip and nice acid. Maybe a touch of oak, but not too distracting. This developed a bit with some time in the decanter and was pretty complex. Good CA syrah and not too ripe/oak driven.

  SFwine double-blind tasting at Dave's (San Francisco): Opaque and very dark, nearly black. Nose of ripe, jammy/estery dark fruit and some coffee grounds. Lots of juicy, ripe fruit on the palate but with surprisingly good balance and acidity. Young. A well made wine, if not my preferred style. I guessed '04 Sonoma Coast syrah. (Tasted blind)

  Almost black in color with just a little violet around the rim. A nose of buttery caramel corn, blackberry and blueberry, charcoal and apricots. Floral almost petrol-like aromas. Very large scale on the palate with smoky, creamy blueberry. Finishes very tannic, which show a little coarse and a touch green. Needs at least 3 years to soften. I think that this will improve significantly and show some cooler climate characteristics over time.
