here's a big, rich, tannic syrah that's full bodied and dense, and exploding with blackberry, currant, mocha, cedar and spice flavors. notable for its tannin structure, it's clearly made from well-grown grapes, and balanced in structure. it's resistant now, however, holding its best under a cloak of astringency. should begin to mellow around 2015 and really take off through 2020.
