Dark perfumed aromas of blueberry jam combine with cocoa, vanilla cream, and tobacco. The palate is bold, complex and fruitful. Loganberry and blackberry intermingle with dark chocolate, and are seamlessly brought together with perceptible tannins that sustain a long and youthful finish.

The 8/24/2014 Napa earthquake did what it could to ruin the label but I can still read 14% alc. on the label.
A beautiful clean (read; no jam) expression of Syrah. Just enough funk on the nose to be both varietal correct and interesting and great balance on the palate.
Count in the (ridiculous low) price and you have one helluva solid QPR.
