This wine reminds of the clumsy giants in movies. It started out massive but ultimately fell on its face. The nose is absolutely loaded with creamy fruits almost like Jolly Rancher candies. As soon as the wine hits your mouth the peppers take over; lots of bell peppers and almost some fresh pepper corns. I was expecting a fruit bomb base on the nose but it turns out this wine is more spice forward. I like some spice in my Syrah but not this much spice with little fruits to balance it out.

Beserkerfest Napa Halloween Party (Napa Valley Wine & Cigar): This had been decanted for a while. Very nice color. The nose shows black cherry, black pepper and some grilled meats. Delicious wine although the acidity seemed higher than I remember it being. Firm tannins. Very nice.
