Ruby red. Excellent noise of sweet blackberries, blackcurrant, dark plums. Medium-bodied, very well balanced and smooth on the palate. This wine has complexity, and a nice long finish with hint of strawberries. Excellent wine.

ALCOHOL: 13.5%
RATED: 02/09/2009 |

|
| COMMENTS: |
Ruby. Bouquet of blackberries with hints of licorice and olives. Medium-bodied, smooth texture, and the acidity lingers on, giving the wine a lively and long after taste. It was not great out of the bottle but definitely blossomed after two hours. Good wine.

| COMMENTS: |
First time I tasted it, I had cold symptoms. So I used the Private Preserve argon spray. Tasted it again after 3 days. So, there might be some oxidation already. The wine was a little too tough & hard to drink. maybe due to the high alcohol content. I've definitely tasted much better Syrah before.
