  On the nose, I find smooth oak, some leather and blackberry. On the palate, I find a well-balanced syrah, with plum, blackberry, and a long fruit finish.

  Tart fruit, little pepper and spice. Rather bitter on palate. Good acidity. Not a typical TJ fruit bomb. Stored correctly. Maybe an off bottle.

  THE most buttery oaky wine I've ever had. Most Tobins have toasty oak that is well matched with fruit intensity but this Syrah is an oddball... a tasty oddball for sure, but once you get past the nose of warm, sweet oak, then the buttery oak on entry, the syrah spice and red fruits come thru and a very nice finish. I wonder if this was just the wines from this barrel or if all this bottling has it, but thanks for pleasant quaff.

  Color - Dark garnet with touch of ruby red
  Nose - Pepper, cherry, dark berries
  Palate - Very little tannins, berries, plum, raspberry, a bit of a harsh bite up front.
