This is 100% Syrah from Fair Play, California (El Dorado County) and the Skinner Vineyard.  Purple in color with some ruby hues, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has black raspberries, roasted meats, and slight black pepper.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Lovely slightly plush texture.  On the palate, this is still on the young side but quite tasty.  Flavors of black raspberries with some spice and earthiness.  Long finish.  This is great on its own and will work for meaty dishes but also roasted vegetables over rice.  Drink over the next seven to ten years.
