Bien Nacido Hillside Estate Syrah 2016

2016 vintage. Last tasted 1.14.24 (9.4). Ripped through the last two bottles. Medium/medium-heavy body. Still plenty of meaty/gamey qualities afoot but undergoing potty training and getting domesticated. Just starting to get cultured and “pretty.” 4.12.24. — 7 days ago

Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay 2020

Medium lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral and mineral notes,
aged for 15 months in 64% new oak, rest in neutral oak. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with citrus wrapped in a nutty texture. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit, spice and savory citrus character.

"Il Padrino" Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah 2021

Give this air. It is not pop and pour inho. Under rated since I did. Not even sure how this got pulled given the year. Mistake. — a month ago

How was the body? Über-light like the Pinots?

No but I wouldn’t call it traditional Syrah heavy. This was an mis-pull. Didn’t realize it was so young.
