  Nice Syrah. Softer than the nearly 15% abv would suggest. Darker fruits but still very youthful black and purple fruit. Finished with a dry herb and heated finish with some terroir and mint. Reminded me in part of a Northern Rhone wine. But very round from start to finish. Still has a ton of life left.

  An excellent Syrah but not up to the caliber of other Zio Tony offerings. Good but kind of average... smooth and tasty, just not your typical full-throttle Martinelli... and way overpriced.

  Very interesting syrah with notes of pepper and red fruit but hidden behind ever changing mineral, leather, bramble, and maybe a hint of eucalyptus. Palate smooth with structured tannins.
