Randy said it was an excellent blend with dark chocolate on the finish. Deb said it was a "treasure trove" with hints of cocoa, dark cherry cola and blackberry cobbler.
At 65% Syrah, this is a hearty blend with deep red/purple color and an enticing nose. Barrel-aged for 21 months in French oak, 53% new, both varieties shine.
This is a bold wine, and it went incredibly well with the barbeque ribs that Todd brought. I made orzo with beef, mushrooms and cheese and that paired nicely, too.
I loved the chocolate, cherry nose. Randy called it really good. Cheryl said it was bold with strong tannins. Ken called it "silky smooth on the palate all the way to the finish." Phyllis simply said it was "yummy."
