Very nice straightforward Syrah. On opening had a rather bitter or sour component that was ruining the finish but that blew off and on day 2 the wine settled down very nicely balanced with hints of earth and dark berries.

Beautiful Nose of blueberries, blackberries and vanilla oak (but not over the top). On the pallet it's more of the same with a touch of black olive. This is pretty tasty with a nice finish. The balance could be better but I'm certainly not complaining because it's so tasty.

On the nose smoke and oak blend together. The palate is oaked and smokey as well blending with tooth coating tannins. Tasted at vineyard.
