Split decision on this wine, with one reviewer liking it for its vibrant blackberry fruit and briary, peppery spice and mouthwatering finish, while our other two reviewers downgraded it for being green.

At 76% Syrah, this red blend (the balance is Grenache) just squeaked past our tasting censors. It’s a bit soft and jammy, also high in alcohol, but boasts loads of ripe cherry-berry fruit backed by a hint of chocolate.

It begins with a pleasant nut rind aroma, then adds a bit of herb and leaf, and finally hits the center with ripe, chunky cherry fruit. This has the big, broad shoulders of fully-ripened Washington Merlot, with flesh and interesting herbal/spice notes. Unusual because of the herb accents, it shows some lightly stemmy tannins, so it may not please everyone. But it certainly delivers lots of flavor.

Blended with 5% Grenache and 6% Mourvèdre. Raspberry and cherry and tart red fruits jump out; and the tannins remain young, hard and abrasive. This definitely needs some more bottle age; but it already shows fine fruit flavors that persist right through the young tannins.

A concentrated, young, satiny wine that mixes in 8% percent Grenache. Inky purple, it already is beginning to hint at developing layers of meat, smoke, tar and licorice, although the primary fruit flavors, sappy and concentrated, dominate. It’s very young; give it plenty of air time.
