Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The black cherry, cassis and mocha flavors are wrapped in sturdy tannins, and the finish is dry and puckery. Might soften in a year or two.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Enjoy this Syrah for its easy drinkability. It’s full-bodied and dry, with berry, chocolate and spice flavors and an overlay of toasty oak. Has a tannic edge that will cut through fatty meats.
