This really reminds me of some of the more natural Cote Rotie producers I've tasted (especially Jean Michel Stephan). Mint, eucyliptus leads the nose with white pepper and subtle bloody meat notes. On the palate, very subtle tropical fruit notes (almost like pineapple and strawberry) but subtle. Plenty of meatiness and herbal quality on the palate too. Ideal wine for lamb. In a really good, soft and easy drinking stage for the 2011 vintage.

Great example of what can be done with Syrah in California. Roasted lamb, herbs and peppercorn on the nose. Good body and density with more exraction than I was expecting. Great tannins. Could last a while...
