Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has black raspberries, slight black pepper and a hint of purple flowers. Full bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, nice black raspberry fruit with some char. Good acidity. Nice finish. This drinks easy and is tasty. Drink over the next five to eight years. A nice wine with a really good burger.

Another top notch Syrah from Bedrock. Consumed over two days, it was better on day 2. Purple in color, ruby at the rim, mostly opaque and bright. The nose has black cherries, black raspberries, black pepper and char. Medium to full bodied. On the palate, this has slightly restrained, black raspberry fruit over char and slight earth. Deep but tight. Good balance. If drinking soon, give this some air. It should continue to improve for another five to eight years and be good for ten more after that. It drinks well on its own but would work better with some fatty/fried foods.
This is drinking quite well now. A great example of a cooler climate Syrah from California. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has black raspberries, black pepper, and slight bacon fat. On the palate, this is very concentrated. Boysenberry fruit with char underneath and a slightly meaty taste. Medium to full bodied. A wisp of tannins. Nice acidity. Long finish. This is great with roasted veggies (and would be with meat or fowl) and would also work with Indian food. No hurry, this should be good for another seen to ten years.
