Roasted berry, olive and herb aromas make for a traditional bouquet. The palate is juicy and a touch piercing, but despite having good concentration it’s not heavy feeling. Tastes intense, with plum, berry, tobacco and carob flavors. Driving on the finish; 74% Syrah with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. ——M.S.(2/1/2012)—— 90
