Smoky, ripe blackberry and raspberry reduction, cedar, juniper and fig newton on nasal inhalation. Near-heavy mouthfeel echoes smoky blackberries and volcanic rocks, rosemary, crumpled satin tannins, Connecticut wrapper, cinnamon toast. Be true to your school!

Blackberries, tar, vanilla, cream, black cherries. Pretty well balanced right now...

A great Syrah from Washington! Fruit forward, cherry, strawberry, and a little black pepper at the end (with food). 2012

Fruit forward aromas of black cherries, blue berries, some herbs, & pepper on the nose. Some black cherries & blue berries with herbs, minerals, noticeable tannins, & fruit cake on the finish. Medium acid. A good wine. Enjoying the fruit cake finish.

The definition of jammy. Surprisingly tannic and dry finish. Needs to breathe for an hour

80% Syrah, 20% Grenache. Nice, drinkable wine.

Ordered the 2010, but got the 2012. A few more years may have helped.
Not as complex as hoped. Did not pair well with swordfish
