Last of 4 bottles, it was delicious and still going strong, but drinking beautifully now, so no regrets. Soft tannins, blueberry and tobacco, awesome with bbq brisket, just enough acid to cut through, and still robust enough fruit to stand up to the smoked beef.

This wine is in a great place right now. Color is deep red, not yet bricking. Big nose of fresh ripe blackberries, mission figs, fennel, sarsaparilla, leather, and hints of white pepper. Palate says blackberry and pepper, with a slightly bitter, long leathery finish. Still has plenty of tannin and will likely continue to improve over the next few years. A nice balance of fresh and secondary flavors. I'm ecstatic that I still have a bottle remaining! Hoping I can find more of this at a decent price.

Still drinking nicely. Pleased to find that I have a few left. Peter makes good wines at an affordable price.

Sad, my only '06 and I thought I had more, but not this vintage; and Peter is SO. He does nice things with his estate syrah.
