Dark cassis and purple corals on the nose. Beautiful rich ripe blackberries, blueberries, black pepper, dark dry earth, crushed dry rocks, some black licorice, ambers, hint of grilled meats, still big chewy tannins with a nice round full big rich fruit finish. Medium plus tannins and medium acidity.

Earthy, fresh, intense. Still young and tannic. Some black cherry to balance the savory notes.

Wow, love it when I get my hands on something from Napa besides Cab. This Syrah has a ton of flavor, great balance with acidity and tannins. Quality wine!!!

This is quite delicious. Earthy and complex. Decanted for several hours based on some other comments. Would get this again for sure.

Hour decant and this was dripping with dark fruit and meat. Couldn't put it down.
