Medium garnet red. Strong nose of cedar, potpourri, and sandalwood. A touch sweet, smoky and so well integrated. A bit of cinnamon and toasted red cherries. Low tannins (4/10) with a medium body. Dark berries, smoky notes and woody notes on the palate. Nice and savory. Well integrated and strong alcohol (18.5%). Medium plus finish. Drink till 2022. — 7 years ago
Deep plum in colour. Nice fruit aroma. Full bodied, excellent flavour, slightly smokey, really smooth.
Great value from a region I rarely buy from. Add to the 'buy again' list. — 8 years ago
Хорошо выраженные специи, табак, ноты крепкого черного чая, красные ягоды, куда ж без них, легкие танины — 9 years ago

Quintessential Syrah from Columbia Valley. Spiced, stewed blueberry notes in otherwise dark dry fruit.
