Exclent winery and excellent varietal. Big jammy fruit forward, medium bodied, silky smooth and medium finish. Mild tannins.

Loved this. Complex flavors, depth, and spice while remaining easy to drink.

Tried this as a substitute for Vicious Petite Syrah, from the same Vineyard. It's full-bodied and hits your whole tongue, but it feels a bit "flat" to me. I strongly prefer Vicious as a drink on its own wine, but think this would be a good pair with steak and blue cheese, chocolates, etc. The "flatness" it leaves in your mouth would showcase whatever flavor you're pairing.
