Pretty...Darn...Amazing. This was running on all cylinders, pumping out flavors that would require more notes than we have space for. A mossy, kirsch-laden bouquet followed by a grocery basket of black and blue fruits with Asian spices and Mediterranean herbs. Lavender picks up the palate toward the release and comes through in the finish, along with hillside brush and wet pavement. The acidity becomes a bit aggressive in the finish, making it better with food. But still a great ride. (= Outstanding)

Jammy, full bodied Syrah with good depth and structure. This was fifth of six bottles purchased and still drinking quite nicely. Will hold on to the last one a bit longer and see how it does.

How did they cram so much Syrah into 750 milliliters? Poured from a heavy-glass bottle that could qualify as a bludgeon. Plum hued with enchanting leaded glass windows in the glass. Full bodied, yet not over the top, with herbal/floral notes in the nose and lip-smacking jammy fruit on the tongue. The finish goes on and on. Drinking well right now; I wouldn't wait to pop this one.
