This was the second time that I purchased a Cab/Syrah blend, and it was less than the other wine that I purchased. However, this wine is more on the Syrah side, which means it is both very meaty and chewy as well as very earthy.

While I didn't flip over this wine, with decanting, it actually might come up a few points. However, it does have great dusky spice and plum flavors, but at this point, I feel that it's not developed enough.
