This was more advanced than the last bottle we had, so I would recommend drinking soon. Still a great bargain -- a ripe complex wine that has gained some body with more time in the bottle.

A lovely wine: Light-bodied, but intense and fragrant, with a very pronounced raspberry flavor, some floral quality, and mouth-watering acidity. It gained some heft with aeration, but it was basically ready to drink from opening -- if you have any, drink them now with pleasure. An impressively spry Syrah, based on exceptional winemaking (and a real bargain at $25).

Blackberry and menthol on the nose. On the palate, raspberry, boysenberry, and notes of savory herbs, violets, and white pepper, with light tannins and strong acidity on the medium finish. This was a good value at about $30.

Super beau et terreux. Du fruit et des épices, prunes et poivre avec du menthol et du graphite. Les tannins sont serrés et la finale assez longue, nous laisse sur des relents de terre. Très bon.
