Smells lovely! Peppered bacon fat..

Medium to heavy body, dark berry, a smudge of cocoa, bits of basil, cherrywine finish, just before the light, minty tannins round out the strong fruited backbone.
Yum.

Blackberry, raspberry, cassis, prune, dark chocolate and oak. Good structure and soft tannins.

I do enjoy a good Syrah from good ol' Washington. Soft nose for a Syrah, typical notes of gamey grilled meat, herbs, and nutmeg spices. Less oaky than previous vintages which I liked, exhibiting ripe blueberries, cocoa, dried herbs, and a smooth lacey tannin to the finish. Good value in the $20 department, but I think I'd enjoy a Croze-Hermitage for the same money a little more. Goes well with a good burger though!

For a 20$ syrah this is excellent. It has everything from blue fruit to smoked game. Not bad at all!

It's ok. A lot of fruit, a little game, a good bit of pepper...not crazy complex and ready to drink. Trying btl 2, oh the American oak is crazy

The problem with good wines is that the bottle empties much faster!
