2006 Pax Syrah Cuvée Keltie

**2006 Pax Syrah Cuvée Keltie (USA, California, North Coast)** A nice floral and tar filled nose, with subtle undertones of blueberry pie, black currant, pepper, smoke, and baking spice. In the mouth it is rich and juicy, with heavy floral flavors, plus tar and smoke. The mid-palate has loads of dark fruit, and it finishes with a good bit of spicy oak. The tannins were firm, but did not overpower the wine. (93 pts.)
