Balanced, fruity and with notable elements of pepper and tar, this is very drinkable and fairly complex Syrah for a good price. I would love to see how it ages, but I have drunk up all my bottles already.
And just a general comment: I really enjoy cool climate California Syrah. I know the stuff is near impossible to sell, but I will keep buying it as long as I can. The fruit is fresh, there's plenty of pepperiness and then various other Syrah elements come out depending on the wine. I drink through the stuff so fast that I almost never get to see it age. More please!
