Had this at Canlis in Seattle and it was absolutely singing. Beautiful Syrah. Complex, well balanced, with soft tannins. There was a good mixture of savory and sweet aspects to this. On the nose, I got some blueberries, some cherries, some meat, and some black/green olives (like a tapenade). On the palate, the savory aspects shine in my opinion. There was a good amount of fruits but the more predominant notes came from its savory aspects. Like to nose, the palate had some black/green olives, some meat (kind of like smoked meat), maybe a little of charcoal, and some blackberry/cherry/blueberry fruits. Very good acidity here with a long finish. I really enjoyed this wine! I would not wait if you have more bottles of this. It seems to me like this is currently as good as it is going to get.
