Julian Hitner: Review of Syrah 2011

Dark ruby in colour, the 2011 Syrah reveals subdued aromas of gentle peppery plums, cherries, licorice, forest floor, and spice. Complex, retaining good fruit, firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a neat hint of plums and peppery nuances on the finish. Ideal fruit orientation and balance, though hopelessly overpriced (at least in my estimation). Now-2016++.
