So this is basically impossible to dislike. The young woman on the label has it right: grill up a steak and dig in. Those seeking finesse and subtlety, seek elsewhere - that's not what this is for. A juicy, dense, spicy, over-extracted wine (15.6% ABV). Go big or go home.

Voluptuous, dense, sexy, and elegant, yet very approachable and not too serious. Love this.

2012. Great Syrah. Smoky, juicy, but great streak of acid all the way back with a hint of melted chocolate and backbone of tannins.
