Purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is classic Washington Syrah.  Black raspberries, burnt rubber, black olives, black pepper and earthiness.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is up front and tasty with black raspberry fruit, earthiness and char.  Nice finish.  A big wine but not as exuberant as California Syrahs.  This needs a couple more years to develop until peak then should drink well for twenty.  Nice on its own, this would be a nice match with Indian food.

This is their base Cabernet.  It is purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cassis, graphite, slight saw dust, vanilla and spice.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  Good acidity.  Concentrated.  On the palate, intense cassis, leather, earth, spice and char.  Long finish.  This is young but drinking very well but will improve.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.  Great on its own, this would be classic with a steak.
