Good full ruby. Musky, reduced aromas of currant, leather and mocha. Sweet and supple, with some spice character to the rather full dark fruit flavors. Not particularly complex but finishes with smooth, dusty tannins and enticing sweetness.

"Bright red. Aromas of red cherry, red berries and cinnamon, plus a faint medicinal quality. Juicy but somewhat tart-edged flavors of cherry, plum and spices. A bit aggressive for syrah."-Stephen Tanzer
