With aromas of cassis, cherry, black pepper and oak I was pretty excited to taste this. Unfortunately i felt the taste was a little bit of a let down. The wine was such a dark colour that I expected some strong flavor, but it was lacking balance (weak on tannin and too much acidity) and any of the dark fruit flavors that I enjoy in a syrah.
I had a glass of Syrah with my lunch when I was at the winery and thought it was fantastic. I think that it was a later vintage. I assume this wine may have been better a year or two ago when the tannins would have been a little bolder.
