Syrah-like nose with stewed blackberries and raspberries. The palate is jammy with sweet, new oak lingering in the background. Seems a little 1 dimensional on the medium weight tannins. Drink now over the next 3 years (2018).

Dark and brooding. Fruits were overwhelmed by oak spices. Good acidity and firm tannins. Long life ahead.
