A solid effort that’s missing out on the richness for a better score. It’s well structured, with juicy, citrusy acidity, and there’s certainly some pretty oak. The flavors also veer toward citrus fruits, with suggestions of tart green apple. Turns peppery-astringent on the finish. Give it a few hours to breathe, and it will soften up.

This interesting wine showcases the continuing promise of Carneros Syrah. In this warm vintage, the grapes became very ripe, and give blackberry, cassis and cherry flavors. They’re wrapped in soft, complex, sweet tannins that coat the palate with a creamy smoothness. The flavors sink into the tongue and last forever.

They pulled out all the stops, starting with fully ripened grapes that give huge blackberry, cassis, cherry and plum flavors. Elaborate oak adds even more sweet notes, and modern tannin management results in a very soft, elaborate mouthfeel. This stylish Merlot-Cabernet blend has lots of appeal.
