Santa Rita Hills Syrah 2019

9.5

2019 vintage. Showing just below the lushness of a Sine Qua Non or Alban Syrah-based effort. This is, nonetheless, outstanding. Slightly more acidity evident than many Rhône efforts tasted from Alban/Sine Qua Non/other Central Coast producers on the finish. Simply amazing that it's being done at a 12.5% ABV clip. If you see it, hit it. 3.22.23 — 6 months ago

Ya, these are fun. Much more crunchy and stemmy than SQN/Alban/most central coast.

@Shay A Definitely fun.

Outstanding Syrah from Bien Nacido Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley, a site Rajat Parr has been exploring for a number of years (some, in collaboration with Piedrasassi) to craft a California Syrah to match the northern Rhône best ones (if you've read Rajat Parr's Atlas of Taste, you know he's obsessed with Thierry Allemand). Lively, balanced, delicious. — 4 years ago

Needs hours of air. Nose of olives, ripe grapefruit, garrigue, and red Twizzlers. Palate is zesty and juicy with underripe fruit. Should hold this peak for some time but hard to imagine this being better in 5-7 years. — 9 months ago

Tastes like a cigar box smells.....in a cedar closet. Super bitter barky aftertaste, and dirty swig-from-the-bottle fun after two days open. Something amazing from Lompoc. — 4 years ago

Bored of Sauvignon blanc? Try this. Has some body, funk and serious length. — 6 years ago
