  This is the best expression of Syrah I've had on a price adjusted basis. Nose is violet plums and iron. Dark ripe blackberry plum juice with a hint of black pepper, red meat, grass. It's like cab francs swoll brother. Great acidity, perfect oak.

  Decanted an hour and a half. Dark purple-ruby. Smelled bacon fat in spades, which gained a nice smoky edge toward the end of the decant, along with some peppery black cherry and blackberry; the taste reprised. Perhaps a tad acidic more than tannic, with those balanced well against the medium-plus body. The medium finish fades from dark fruit to bacon fat.

  Excellent wine; very dry; needs to decant for a full hour to open up.
