Still big and bold. Very well balanced and enjoyable with a winter stew. Lots of bright fruits on the front end. Some earthy notes and still plenty of structure here. Drink or hold.

This bottle carried a youthful, dark purple color that looked much younger than its age. The nose and palate were initially unbalanced with more distinct oak showing for the first 30 minutes. With air, the cherry, raspberry, and plum fruit emerged from their slumber and were accompanied by floral and mineral notes as well as a touch of olive. The fruit remained subdued throughout the evening. This medium-bodied wine had balanced acidity and no rough edges. Overall, it was not …

15.8% alcohol. Dark purple center with ruby rim. The expressive nose provides plum, olive, bacon, and earth.

A great full-bodied new world Syrah. It is quite hedonistic, but does so in a balanced way... lots of dark fruit, oak and pepper. This is the anti-AFWE wine from California ;)

Dark purple color. Explosive nose of vanilla (like walking into a barrel room), warm sugar cookie, lavender, spice, and dark fruit. The palate is just as expressive as the nose with waves of vanilla, plums, blueberries, floral notes, and spice. Structurally, this wine is full-bodied with balanced acidity, which creates a plush, velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long with well rounded tannins. Overall, this wine is hedonistic and unabashed with ample, but not overwhelming, oak and deep fruit. A great …
