Blackberry, cassis, cherry, eucalyptus, vanilla, mossy earth, oak and hints of white pepper and dark chocolate. Great structure and moderate tannins.

A great Syrah ready to drink. A bit of a dry finish would be the only flaw in this one.

Just as the harvest season is about to begin, so too is wine shipping season. Thought I'd revisit this from a couple of weeks ago. Still very good. Will pick up a couple of more! Great#qpr

Beautiful! Ultra high QPR! Dark violet in the glass with long legs. Sweet cedar and menthol on the nose. Lovely acidity. Definite clove spice up front. Blackberry intensity. The tannins are soft and that makes this wine exceptionally easy to drink. A moderately long finish to boot! A definite winner. Contender for sub-$25 WOTY.
