Big, but everything in proportion. Lots of blue fruit, pepper, meat and violets. Clearly CA Syrah.

Black olive, chocolate, and espresso. Light spices and an even Beaujolais like fruit character. Good mid palette, a little short on the finish.

Smoked/gamey near in the nose. Meaty blueberry with some heat and pepper on the back. Slight Notes of cranberry and pomegranate on the back end. Medium tannins.

Great Syrah. Much improved from the last 2013 I had over a year ago. Probably getting close to peak drinking.

V13. Bam! Soft cedar bouquet, then a flood of RICH blueberry and Blackberry fruit mixed with mocha and black pepper. Really enjoyed this one.
