Serious juice here: legit AZ wine from the guy from Korn - this is Syrah dominant blend that was like squid ink, deep dark rich density of flavor & impressive extraction - even downright elegant. Huge blackberry / plum / fig compote mingled w/persistent white pepper. Ultra smooth finely grained tannins. The only thing stopping this was the acidity was slightly out of balance. Nevertheless it was very enjoyable!
