Dark in color with a ripe and fat nose. Flavor is ripe and full with lots of boysenberry and a bit of over ripe plum but not much acid to hold it up. A bit flabby.

Dark purple. Big fruit nose with cherries and red berries, juicy fruity entry and solid mid palate, zingy acidic touch on the finish. Smooth and nice, reasonable finish. This is a nice and smooth wine but lacks typicity. After a while the nose subsided and became more funky.

Fall Bachanalia (Green Dolphin St, Chicago IL): Nose: good inky and smokey nose with good fruited tones of blackberries, dark cherries, black currants, and some pepper tones
taste: fat and plush feel on the palate with a smokey backdrop providing tones of blackberries, dark cherries, and pepper tones
overall: and excellent syrah with nice fat fruit flavors and silky tannins. Well styled with a blackberry attack and dark cherry finish
