More of a Rhône-style Syrah, savory, dried-herb notes, medium dry on the finish. Elegant and a little leaner in style for a Cali Syrah. Loved it right now!

Easy drinker with nice structure for $20. A guy could do worse on Wed night.

With 2 hours decant this is drinking beautifully now. Blackberries, blackcurrant, blueberry - still vibrant and fresh - dust, smoke, flowers, pepper and garrigue. Long finish, silky tannins. 👍

Surprisingly restrained and subtle. All white pepper and black olive. Definitely a "finesse" bottle.

Tight but elegant after sometime in the glass. Decant. Cooked blue and black fruits, some cooking spices. Enjoyable.
