The Petite Syrah by which I judge all other Petite Syrahs. Full-bodied, rich dark berry, tobacco, earthy hints of peppery spice, but soft. Tannins are mild, easy. Deep purple with ruby edges and just a pale hint of oxidation.

Transparent garnet purple in the glass. Nose is very shy, even in the Riedel New World Syrah glass. Surprisingly bland on the palate; soft and silky with no tannins to speak of at all and a feel of overdone malolactic. It's as if Blue Mountain over compensated for the very aggressive 2009 vintage. The lack of even faint blue- or blackberry flavors makes me wonder if this is even the right wine. Totally uncharacteristic.
