The wine is a rich ruby color in the glass with nice clarity. The nose presents aromas of blackberry, green grass, tarragon and a hint of rose petals, which combined make you feel like sitting in front of a fire with a good book. The taste is a rush of black cherry cola, vanilla bean and a hint of tobacco that transitions nicely to some notes of white pepper spice midpalate. The tannins are supple and fully integrated, creating a perfect foundation for the long, voluptuous and very dry finish.
Overall, I would rate this wine a solid 8.5, as it's just a very pleasant drinking Syrah that warms your senses. This wine would pair well with a variety of hearty winter dishes, from beef stew to Yankee pot roast, but tonight I'm enjoying this wine with a grilled teriyaki glazed pork tenderloin with Amish butter noodles and green beans almondine. A full meal of comfort food! Cheers!
