Our friend described this as forest floor. Did have wet forest smells along with mushrooms, dry blackberry and raspberry with a slight musty funk. Felt like this bottle was just a touch sweeter (not dessert wine sweet just that the dark fruit had fermented a bit more). Good wine. — 5 years ago

Cherry cola, nutmeg, and dark berries. This is cool climate, new world Syrah. It’s clean, shows evidence of classy French oak aging, fruit forward and balance. Well done! — 4 years ago
