Very nice. Well balanced and a great sipper. Minerals and dark berries. Pleasant floral finish.

Elegant for a Cali Syrah. With a nice olive tree, blueberry, sun baked stone nose. Rhone varietals from the Sierra foothills continue to impress.

Tastly, but decidedly one dimensional. A bit of a let down.

Enjoued it's dark fruit and dried fruit elements, balanced with moderate tannins and baking spice notes. Held up well vs. Indian food.
