This is a rich layered wine. Flavors of pepper, spice and dark fruit. Really like this wine at 60 + degrees. Found this wine on clearance and I don't know why. Would buy again and I do recommend this wine.

Compared to what we were tasting against it, did not show up, but like the people behind this operation!

One of my favorite wines of the night. Still packed quite a punch for the vintage, even after being left out for a few hours. Absolutely stunning wine. Still is a bit hot with alcohol but a lovely wine.

The structure calms down somewhat in day three, leaving a very pure expression of Syrah and Red Mountain. Balanced for 15.1 and I don't say that lightly..:

Enjoyed with steak and veggie stir fry, excellent flavor, bold fruit with light spice at the end. Not overpowering but not weak. Sparkman fan.
