2009 McPrice Myers Beautiful Earth Paso Robles

The nose has a pleasant nutty quality to go with blackberries. The palate has an unusual blend of bright cherry and dark blackberry. The two blend smoothly adding nice texture. A bit of pepper. The fruit brightens as it crosses the palate. Fine tannins, nice acidity and balance. Finishes moderately long with pretty spice and dark fruit. Lovely stuff, probably at peak or a little past. No sign of heat despite the 15.8% ABV. My last bottle. If you have any, I'd drink over the next 2 to 3 years. 72% Syrah, 21% Grenache, 7% Mourvedre. "A-"
