This is an excellent cooler climate Syrah. Reasonably priced too. Purple in color. The nose has boysenberries, leather, roasted herbs and an interesting camphor note. Full bodied. On the palate, the boysenberries come thru over a bed of char and slight earthiness. This needs two or three more years to peak and then should be good for another ten to twelve after that. It will pair well with roasts and grilled foods and also Indian cuisine.
Nice to revisit this wine. It is starting to really hit its stride at this point although it did continue to open after popping the cork. Purple in color. The nose is deep with leather, iodine, boysenberries and a slight grilled meat component. On the palate, this has a cooler climate profile. Boysenberry fruit. Layers of dry leather. Good balance. Medium to full bodied. Would work well with a wide variety of foods. It has depth and a nice complexity but also drinks easy. Good finish.
This is really drinking well right now. Purple in color with a thin ruby line at the rim. The nose is great with black raspberries, slight bacon fat, char and black pepper. Medium to full bodied. On the palate, this has a lovely texture. Black raspberry fruit intertwined with roasted meats and black pepper. Very smooth. Delicious. Long finish. This is closing in on peak but should have ten to fifteen more years at or near the top. This worked great with Indian food.
