'03 Tobin James Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah

[Innkeeper]

We popped the 2008 tonight. It is now 65% Syrah and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon this time. This despite the Fall '11 said it was fity/fity. The list price held at $38 for at least five years, but as I indicated it came with the wine club shipment. The alcohol with 15.2%; yikes! Despite all the above, it is still a wonderful wine. The tilt in favor of Syrah just made it better IMHO. Wish I had more.

We matched it with steak tips Teriyaki grilled over charcoal and wild cherry chips along with a split eggplant straight from our garden; and pilaf cooked in turkey stock, and salad with tomato, lettuce, and cucumber from our garden and onion from the store. A really great dinner.
