| 96-100 | Extraordinary | A wine of finesse, complexity, and expression. True to variety and region. Perfect balance of flavors with a long finish. |
| 90-95 | Excellent | True to variety and region, with terrific complexity and balance. While not a wine for the ages, a superior example. |
| 85-89 | Good | Meets your expectations, with sound flavors and balance. Might have limited complexity or be short on the palate. A sound wine. |
| 80-84 | Average | Drinkable, might not have as much varietal character. Simple flavors, no flaws, but nothing special. |
| 75-79 | Below Average | Might contain one flaw, simple straight-forward flavors, off-balance, unpleasant. |

A very ballsy nose. Spicy while being rich in ripe boysenberry, and other dark fruits I could not identify. With that kind of nose you'd expect the taste to be more full bodied, not to say it was overly thin. The flavor was unimpressive, but the finish brought some nice lasting spice.
Overall, a good deal for the price, especially if Syrah is your thing (it's not really mine).

Light color for a syrah it would seem. Nose of vanilla cake icing + bluberries (that's the positive) ... coupled w/ some off notes of vegetables and minerals.
Soft on the tongue, relatively smooth and pleasant. A bit tannic and bitter on the finish, but all in all, i was actually impressed w/ the finish for a 5 dollar bottle; good length and surprisingly spicy.
