I have to admit, I'm a sucker for a wine where cherries, bell peppers and rubber collide.

This is fun. It's breakfast sausage collard greens and one hell of a cherry cola bomb. Huge. Looooong finish. Nothing like a Northern Rhône...but I don't think it was trying.

Drinks like grenache more than a syrah. Too much minerality for me. The black fruit, violets and pepper are all there especially on the nose. However, the palate lacks the oak id prefer and the black fruit i want from the nose. Very short finish for what should be a big concentrated new world syrah. It just drinks too delicate for me.

Enjoyed over 8 hrs. Concentrated. Huge. New World. Dense, ripe fruit, with a savory cured meat counterpoint. Creamy oak. Delicious!
