Better showing than the last I had a year ago. Not overly complex, but pleasant.

This leans toward the savory side of Syrah. A red currant and pepper nose with red peppercorn and slightly underripe blackberry on the palate.

Black pepper with discernible fruit tones that are not overpowered by the pepper. This is good Syrah for someone who likes peppery Zins.

Not over-extracted as many Ca Syrahs are. Pepper, blueberry and enough acidity to bring you back for more.

Impressive and lovely with about 2 and a half hours of decant time.
