Surprised at how good of an example this Syrah was. Black pepper was there, very bright, not overly heavy.

A great value for Syrah. Well balanced, white pepper and dark fruit. Great with my pizza tonight

Great aroma. Smells like the northern Rhone. Black pepper and stewed meats. A solid effort.

Better than the '11. More cool climate character with black pepper and savory notes.

Want a Syrah that tastes of black pepper? This one is a pot of rotundone. And not in a bad way.

Lighter version of a solid Aussie Shiraz. Intended as sincere compliment. Paired well with a bison cheeseburger.
