Holy cow, if this is the appellation wine I can't wait to try the single vineyard wines. It's everything I look for in a Syrah: lots of flavor, concentration, structure, but fresh acidity, not too heavy, and minerals, complex aromas, and umami.

Love this style - very northern Rhone tasting ( hence all the high acid comments)

How Syrah should be. Minerally, meaty, fresh fruit aromas. One of my faves.

Tasty with America's BDay Dinner celebration of ribs but a little rushed. Good thing there's more!

Fruity and structured with nice acid and well integrated oak. I am impressed! Goes well with middle eastern burgers.
