The inky purple-colored 2007 Syrah Las Colinas exhibits plenty of sweet blue and blackberries intermixed with licorice and hints of asphalt and spring flowers. It is an elegant, finesse-styled Syrah, with good acidity, fragrance, and moderate weight. - Wine Advocate # 180 Dec 2008nnAn elegant expression of Syrah, with fruity plum, blackberry, iodine, violet, bacon fat and dark chocolate on the nose. The buoyant midpalate floats on waves of berry and plum fruit, given shape on the margins by pepper spice, minerality and thyme. Red and black fruits remain dominant on the clean, peppery finish, with notes of tanned leather and sage adding interest. Drink through at least 2016. - Winery website
