Nice fruit, some great pepper flavors, a tad ripe, and still some tannins evident. Not sure what to think of this one. Seems overly plummy on the one hand, but has some fairly decent tannin on the other. Plum fruit, blackberry, cracked pepper, all good on the flavors.

Decanted 1 hr before serving. Big, full bodied, highly extracted, ripe black fruit with earthy, smoky character. Still lots of tannic structure for further evolution in the cellar. Paired well with roast rack of lamb with herb-mint sauce.

(Rulo Winery Silo Reserve Columbia Valley) Leaps from the glass with lavender, earth, and funk. On the palate, chewy cherry fruit is wrapped in silky oak flavors. 100% Syrah. Ranch at the End of the Road, Clifton Vineyard.

Deep purple color with jammy fruit and smoky notes. Positively delicious. Drink up if holding.

About 30 minutes in the bottle before pouring...dark purple...nice nose, but over-extracted finish...my least favorite of the three bottles I've had.
