A bit sharp, but otherwise a nice dinner wine, with the medium-bodied, silky texture of Pinot Noir. The flavors are of cherries, cola, cocoa and tobacco, and the finish is dry and spicy.

A nice Syrah, rich and soft in the mouth, that shows plenty of ripe fruit flavor without being cloying. You’ll find blackberries, bacon and black pepper.

This is a tight, monstrous Syrah, with a pocket of black fruit flavor and a dollop of earthiness. It veers into raisiny territory on the finish.

Stewy at first, this gets better after opening and catching some air, developing into a straightforward Rhône blend, with soft tannins and strips of cinnamon and vanilla.

Dry and tart in acidity, this Rhône-style white blend is pretty good for everyday purposes, but has insufficient richness. There’s a vegetal streak that drags down the apricot and peach fruit flavors.

Not much going on except sweet, toasty oak-like aromas and flavors, with lots of hard, dry tannins. There’s a splash of cherries and plums.
