  Smooth, rich, even passed the peak but still full body and earthy. Love the wine.

  This wine is definitely more like an Aussie shiraz than any Washington syrahs I've had to date. Saturated dark, opaque purple color. Thick and dense - almost portlike - on the palate. There's definitely a strong spicy oak character, but there's plenty of fruit to support the wood. Notes of vanilla, jammy red fruit, moccha, and a myriad of spices like nutmeg, cloves, and a hint of cinnamon. Just a touch of heat on the finish, otherwise very well-balanced with moderate complexity and a nice finish. Not the kind of wine I'd like to drink frequently, but very nice for a change.
