Nice juice! We opened up a bottle last night at the shop because business was a bit slow (the Engineer didn't come in). Really nice wine that's exhibiting some of those nice barnyard, bacon fat characteristics of an aged Rhone. This is the closest to a real Rhone bottling we've had lately from a New World Syrah/Shiraz. Though the color showed like a young wine, I'd be a bit hesitant to predict long term aging because of the way it's now showing an aged quality. Don't know what it's going for elsewhere, but we have it for $11.99. I got a few for our cellar.
