Domestic Rhones (David's House - Washington, DC): This was my contribution to the tasting. Complex and seductive aromas of roasted coffee, all sorts of mixed berries, white pepper. So polished on the palate with fine tannins and solid acid, combining in a velvety mouthfeel. I love the cranberry, red and black plums, coffee and dark chocolate flavors. So pure on the finish. Despite it's dark and rich nature, the wine leaves the palate refreshed, not overwhelmed. A beauty that I'd like to revisit in two or three years, except I don't have any more. Damn!

A dark luscious syrah, mixing the candy of Washington state with the crystal clarity of Syncline syrahs in a dark, chocloate wine.

Fall Bachanalia (Green Dolphin St, Chicago IL): nose: very polished nose with plush dark fruits with smoke tones and anisette
taste: smooth and elegant with smoke tones and loads of various black fruits with nice depth
overall: a beautiful syrah. Very polished and elegant with nice ripe dark fruits providing a polish smokey attack with a black fruited finish

Beautiful, dense plum color. Nice deep syrah with peppery finish, and coffee notes.
