They source the finest fruit available from Oakville, Rutherford and Pritchard Hill for red varietals, and the Carneros and Russian River Valley appellations for Chardonnay. More »

Tasted On 07/15/2012

Opaque dense, purple in hue with little rim variation. Clean expressive aromas of blue and blackfruit, vanilla and chocolate. Dry, big, boozy (15.7%), woody palate of dark fruit, wood spice, vanilla and toasted chocolate marshmallo. A huge fruit bomb with tons of wood character....a bit disjointed and heavy on the candy....this is why I typically don't like new world syrah.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
