Delish wine that I fell in love with at cliff lede tasting room. Beautiful cherries and spice, soft tannins. — 7 years ago
Garnet and quite transparent. Aromas of chocolate mint, fried leaves and twigs, black cherries, prunes and even a piece of coconut. Lighter bodied, has a laminated mouthfeel, perky acidity and sneaky bitter tannin. Flavors of cherry cola, table grapes, toasty oak and chocolate mint. — 7 years ago
This 2009 Syrah is a dreamy rich luscious thick smelling bundle of yumminess. On the nose is a nice peppery smell. A little leather to give it that big bad ass feeling. On the palate you get a slight dark cherry with a little smokiness. Letting this breathe a little before calling the huge grippiness mid palate. But if it sticks around then it is the complete package! — 8 years ago

Wifey spat her pacifier out for some reason, but I have assumed editorial liberties. In the glass, the wine is as black as me, but not as sexy 😏
The nose is dense and heavy with maple syrup and maraschino cherries. On the palette, it's velvety and compact, with layers of coffee, kirsch and finishes sweet. This is why I love Napa! — 8 years ago

Dark plum color. Uninteresting nose. Plum flavors. Sweet, but not cloying. Light balanced tannins and acidity. Full flavor without being heavy. Very easy to drink. I really like this wine. — 10 years ago
