Rich red berry aromas along with acai, blueberry and some black pepper notes. Some purple plummy notes on the nose as well. This wine has a sexy texture I really enjoy with powerful flavors without the mouth-blowing tannin, high acid and high alcohol feel. It's a pretty, more feminine style Syrah with finesse, rich berry fruit covering red, blue and purple with even some black fruit tones and wonderful balance. Some slight herbal qualities and pepper appear on the mid palate. It finishes pure and long. Very nice! Why I brought this home from the tasting room in Los Olivos!

Drank this next to Guigal Ampuis Cote Rotie. This wins hands down. This is benchmark Syrah. Outstanding!!!!

Not a big Syrah. A bit light and shorter finish.
