Great value in a juicy well balanced syrah. A lovely complex nose of dark fruit (blueberry, black cherry), cedar, black pepper, violets and a meaty note. 14.5% ABV, but doesn't feel heavy on the palate, likely due to good acidity offering a sense of freshness. Not overly tannic although there's good structure from the tannins. Very good length. Feb. 2016.

Reasonable but I think 90 is aggressive.

It's only wine but I like it

Not nearly a 90 point wine in my view, this is nevertheless a very well made syrah. Ripe, but not veering into cloying territory. Fairly priced.
