Dry and meaty, with tannic flavors of grilled beef, blackberries, smoky oak, pepper and other spices. Feels dense, solid and vital, a wine that could develop bottle complexity through 2013. It’s a blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon.

A very nice Cabernet from Paso Robles. At the age of five–plus years, it’s still pretty tannic, but a good steak will cut through the hardness. Dry and balanced, it shows spicy flavors of blackberries, currants, anise and cocoa, accented with smoky oak. Should last for a long time, without gaining much.
