Ripe red fruit with good purity. Definite meatiness on the mid-palate. Decent structure and good acidity. Well balanced. This is a good middle-weight California Syrah. Quite a decent wine at this price point.

Medium ruby with minimal clearing - appears unfiltered Medium plus aromas of blue/ black fruit and plum with black olives and smoke Medium palate of blueberry and plum Medium tannins felt primarily on the tongue with medium acidity Pretty heavy on alcohol which throws this wine out of balance IMO Short finish except for an alcohol burn Pretty good example of why I don't drink much New World Syrah other than some of the top notch producers like AR - just a little too jammy and lacking in structure Drink now

Opened 1/2 hour before serving. Solid Syrah, nice nose, balanced California Syrah. Paired nicely with pre-supper hors d’oeuvres.
