Massive blackberry, cherry, currant and mocha flavors characterize this dry, potent Syrah. At the age of five, it's round and mellow in the mouth, with firm tannins and a gentle scour of acidity. Just beginning to show its stuff. Drink now–2018.

Delicious, dry and complex, with wild blackberry, Provençal herb, white pepper and sandalwood flavors. Feels elegant, but too soft, lacking the structural integrity a fine wine needs. Drink now.
