Touch flat on first look... Pepper, florals, red fruits start to come on

Jan 24th, 20152012. I honestly don't understand the horrible CT reviews of this wine - bottle variation I'm guessing? I very much enjoyed it. Certainly more southern Rhone-esque than northern Rhone, and yet -- it's f***ing Shiraz. So even comparing it to Rhone is a win. This is definitely not to be compared to the Syrah of Cote Rotie or St Joseph, *but* it actually had some similarities to the Fonsalette Cote Du Rhone Syrahs I've tried (ok, granted, not as complex, but still, that Southern Rhone Syrah sappiness with a brain, meaning quite enough complexity to keep me intrigued). I'd actually purchase this again for $30. To me, a repurchase is high praise.
