Blood, olive tamponade, stewed plums nose and dark black and purple fruits on the tongue. Tannins are completely resolved and this wine is ready to drink now. Do not hold onto this Syrah as it will not get better than it is now.

Yes, that is homemade enchilada sauce in the background. Equal parts spice, vanilla, blackberry and clove. The nose on this relative value for US Syrah is great. The palate is firm and structured but approachable.

Black and blue fruits, floral, spice. A splash of smoke/gamey note. Tannins were present but well integrated. Great bottle of Syrah.

Quite enjoyable. Dark blue fruits with smoked meat. Touch of funk. Integrated tannins.
