The first really great Syrah I ever had. Smooth and silky. Plenty of fruit but not overwhelming. Also, on the day after opening, this wine is still delicious.

Lots of baking spices and vanilla. Ripe dark fruit nicely balanced oak. Moderate integrated tannins.

Blackberries and dark red cherries. Dark cocoa. Pan-seared meat. Straight forward syrah.
