Fruity. Lots of dark fruit, black pepper, spice. Lush tannins. Oak tones on the finish. It's all there.

Blue and black fruits, spice, pepper. Round finish and still a touch astringent on the finish.

"Dense" is a great word to describe this, as the wine is so packed with flavor that it's often hard to pick them out one by one.

Bold red and black fruits dominate, but there is also a sweet earth note that is really great here.

Dense, dark, brambly fruit, bitterchocolate, mocca and oriental spice; soft tannines and judicious use of oak make this a wonderful wine to drink now. Delicious!

Big, big Petite Syrah! Loads of dark fruit and tannins. Really opened up after an hour in a decanter. Paired perfectly with brined, cold-smoked then petite Syrah braised beef short ribs ala Michael Chiarello Bottega style over polenta. This was a fun wine find while tasting Odette Cabernet.
