I don’t think onetangi road exists anymore as a label, do they?
One comment…it seems a bit silly to talk about a 2007 wine being ‘closed’ when it was tasted less than 30 seconds after being opened. Any half-way decent red from 2007 would need at least a few minutes to sit in the glass before it changes dramatically…especially a Syrah.

Thanks for the comment and agree that 2007 Syrah would naturally be closed but most consumers are going to drink that wine, and wines like that, so very young. I try and taste wine as a consumer would and give a fair appraisal.
