Spicy for a Cali Syrah. High abv and noticeable.

Feb 4th, 2018Incredibly dark purple in the glass with lighter purple accents. Smoky nose with dried cranberries, olives, and a touch of oak. This is an odd little bottle. Somehow, it tastes more expensive than it actually is. There’s a nice complexity here that took me a little by surprise. Medium bodied with smooth tannins, the alcohol does provide a little too much heat but that passes with enough time. On the palate, there’s a nice streak of dark fruits with black cherries, blackberries, and stewed plums. Grilled meat, fresh tobacco, and pleasant vanilla also play a part. White pepper on the shortish finish. Unexpectedly very well made.

Great with fish. Smooth and delicious. I’d say this is the “Daniel Boon” of wines. Tastes expensive but is very inexpensive.
