  Quick decant. Nose of black plum skins, kirsch, and a hint of lavender and dry leaves. Rich black and tart cherry palate is followed by a wave of dried herbs and a note of fresh mint. Saline and tannins mix with black raspberry and green peppercorns on the finish with a touch of vanilla custard and light oak to close things out.

  The nose is expressive with aromas of stewed blue and black fruit, black cherry, licorice, brined black olives, white pepper, smoke, rosemary, sage, and cured meat.
  
  The palate is full bodied and spicy, with a touch of oak and vanilla that I missed in the nose. Also a sort of sweet floral note on the back palate. Tannins are velvety and acidity is medium. Alcohol is a bit noticeable but overall this is an excellent bottle of wine.

  It’s pleasant and harmonious, but not complex. Will plan to check in a few years.

  Beautiful syrah. I love the deep ruby color in the glass. On the nose and initial palate, I get a lot of dark berries - boysenberry, blackberry, ripe raspberry. It's medium+ bodied with a good balance of taninns and finesse. I also note some fine orange and spice in the nose. I would definitely enjoy this wine again.

  Nose: Raspberry, herbs, cranberry, licorice, dried cherry and strawberry. Game.
  
  Palate: The above w/ earth and pepper. Pepper finish lingers.
  
  This is what I wish many Southern Rhone wines were.
