These wines are taking forever to come around. Just now starting to show something. This is going to be a beautiful wine. Its outstanding now, but not nearly at peak and needs a lot of air. Purple in color. The nose has black raspberries, minerals, black pepper and slight black olives. On the palate, this is cooler climate in style. Black raspberries, slight black olives, earthiness and a mineral streak. Good acidity. Long finish.
Purple in color. The nose is nice with black pepper, black raspberries, slight roasted herbs, and some bacon fat. Full bodied. Cooler climate in style. On the palate, boysenberries, black pepper, slight earthiness with good acidity. Slight tannins. deep and layered. Good balance. Nice finish. This went very well with Indian food (Syrah is a surprisingly good food match with Indian food). Seems to be still on the younger side of peak though drinking well now.
This wine has really taken a long time to come around, but is now drinking great. This is there basic Syrah. Purple in color, deep ruby at the rim. The nose has black raspberries, black pepper, grilled meats and slight roasted herb. On the palate, this is deep and complex. Lovely medium bodied texture. Black raspberry fruit layered with dry, charred earth. Good finish. This should continue to drink well for another ten to fifteen years. A great match with Indian food, it should also work well with casseroles or roasts.
