This has developed some tertiary funk/black olive characteristics that I'm not a big fan of. Still drinkable/enjoyable w/cherry berry syrah bits and pieces this is on a definite decline and should have been consumed 2+ yrs. ago

A good wine but would not purchase again. Being a big fan of syrah, I guess we have become spoiled with efforts from other vintners. Nose was muted, with dull fruit and very brief finish.

Deep, dark purple color. Blackberries, smoked meat, pepper, dried herbs, dark chocolate, and a bit of vanilla on the very nice and open nose. Medium body with solid, ripe tannins and very nice acidity. Bold and rich on the palate, with the smoky, peppery, meaty berries. A bit of an herbal note creeps in on the long finish. Very enjoyable now but could be cellared a bit longer if desired.

Jammy, jiucy.
Some spice, consistent finish.
