Better than the 09. Reductive smokey-meaty-salty goodness, acid, and talcy tannins. Not much fruit to speak of, and thats all to the good. One of the best American Syrahs I've had to date.

Had 2011 August clape renaissance a month ago and this brings it to mind. Not on par with that bottle but considering the price... Awesome!

Spectacular, alluring texture. Chameleon-like subtle flashes of complexity. Can only get better with time..
