From Magnum. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is great with black raspberries, black pepper, slight roasted meats and herbs and spice. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Great balance. Plenty of depth. Flavors of black raspberries, black pepper and char. Nice acidity. Long finish. This is drinking well now and even from a 750ml should have a decade left. It is great on its own and went great with a vegetable Lasagna.
From on of the top Syrah vineyards in Santa Barbara County. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is great with black raspberries, slight bacon fat, black olives and roasted herbs. Wonderful texture. Juicy acidity. On the palate, black raspberry fruit with underlying char and slight dry earthiness. This is delicious if a bit young. This will get a bit better over the next few years. Let it cellar for another five years and drink for ten to twelve after that. It will drink great on its own and work well with roasted pork or even Indian food.
Purple in color. The nose is very nice with black raspberries, black cherries, roasted herbs and slight violet notes. On the palate, this is full bodied. It is a big wine, but not over blown. Notes of black raspberries over a char and dry earth. Good balance. Long finish. This is still young and will likely improve. It needs about five years until peak and should be good for ten to fifteen after that. Syrahs like this go well with Indian food and also meat based dishes.
