A dark and brroking wine. Heavily alocoholic, but also with deep flavors of blueberry, cocoa, blackberry, and tar. It's wonderfully complex and there's plenty of acid for the frame. The tannins are also ripe. My only problem here is how reduced it is. A tiny bit of oxygen isn't an evil thing.

Nice fruit, with typical Syrah pepper and tartness, earthiness and gamey quality reminiscent of a Northern Rhone. A very pleasant surprise, given that this was heavily discounted ($25). I'd definitely buy more at that price.

Dark and rich, chewy and sinewy, fruity with mild soft tannins.

Held a 20 person blind wine tasting and this was one of the two big winners. So much so that people demanded another bottle be opened.

wonderful funk on the nose. Black and blue fruits fill out the mid palete with a medium finish. Very enjoyable. 91-92.
