  Quarterly Blind Tasting - Bring Anything (My Place): Second wine of blind, "bring anything" tasting. I guessed $45 2009 Bordeaux blend from Washington. Giant, black, thick, motor oil of a wine had most thinking a petite sirah. Raisin notes in the background also pushed some in this direction. Needs 3-5 years to become more balanced....acidity lacking a bit. That being said, all the pieces are there for this to be very good and warrant a higher score in the future in my opinion. Hold.
  
  My 90 points, group 90. #4 of 7 wines on the night

  Gorgeous wine! Popped-n-poured, probably would have benefited from decanting... but still outstanding. Big lovely nose, with loads of black berry, cherry, cassis, peppery spice and a hint of cinnamon. Nice structure, great balance, with well integrated velvery tannins and mid-length finish. It's been quite some time since I've tasted this good of a Syrah... 93+

  Love this wine. Big peppery nose and finish. Is much more balanced and elegant than one might think for a 15.5% alcohol level but it finishes balanced and smooth with a lot of spice and cassis. Wonderful.
