Big and meaty with plenty of plum, pepper and spice. Needs time but drinking well already.

Youthful, juicy and delightful. Took about an hour in decanter for the savory and Smokey notes to open up. Could use a few years but drinks nicely now as well!

From Wine Merchant Northern Rhône class 6/5. Blue and black fruit aromas with some olive and campfire smoke. Blueberry and boysenberry. Medium tannins. Very refined. Had with rib eyes and roast corn and arugula salad.

Juicy and meaty. Bouquet of pepperoni/cured meats, black olives, and bell pepper; typical for a Northern Rhône Syrah. Improved as it opened up. Goes great with herbed, spiced roasted pork!
