Paired this 07 with mesquite smoked baby backs-what a great pairing. I find that Paso Wines can get sappy with age. Not the case here. Fruit is integrated well and not over the top...pink peppercorn and kirsch on the nose, with blackberry preserve and hint of wild game paired with super fine tannins makes for a stunner.

In a good spot. The heat has blown off completely. Bold and striking.

So much life, no signs of age...none! But if you must, wait for the finish!!! HOLD for a few more years.

BYO with friends at Vintana. Wish I could have decanted, but still great on Pop & pour. I think this was the last year these were released at $45. Should have bought more!

another for the catalog. A great wine if not way too young still. Super closed but had all that great potential of a saxum Syrah.

A asked for power. Fine. Try this on for size, who needs Italian wine?
