I was concerned a bit as it has a heavy alcohol nose, but in truth it was very smooth and creamy with vegetable notes. Not complex, but the bottle is almost gone after only a half hour and I drink alone. Always alone

Easy going Syrah. I'd recommend it to those who want to dive into this varietal!

Green, sour cherries, peppercorns. Dad says 86, I say 88. Takes some time to open up.

"Wretches! ye loved her for her wealth and hated her for her pride,
"And when she fell in feeble health, ye blessed her--that she died!
"How shall the ritual, then, be read?--the requiem how be sung
"By you--by yours, the evil eye,--by yours, the slanderous tongue
"That did to death the innocent that died, and died so young?"

Fairly full, modestly spicy, with dark cherry and molasses. Vanilla on the finish.

Not a bad Syrah, just had an uncomfortable dry finish, flavor a bit musty. Lacking in complexity and fruit.
