(3.89 pH and 15.5% alcohol):  Inky ruby.  Wild, heady bouquet evokes candied dark berries, potpourri, sandalwood and olive tapenade.  Lush, palate-staining blueberry and mulberry flavors show outstanding clarity and intensity, with sexy floral pastille and spicecake nuances building with air.  Packs a very serious punch but possesses unlikely vivacity and finishes long and sappy, with strong spicy cut.  By the standards of high-end syrah, from anywhere, this is a remarkable value.  There are also 567 cases to go around.
