This is pretty much what Santa Barbara Syrah is all about, rich but fresh.

Night and day compared to the Santa Barbara county Syrah. Not the same vintage of course.
Very smoky nose, good after taste

Full bodied, nice finish. Would be great with steak

The 2012 has a strong leather nose compared to the 2014 we just had. More character, harder to drink by itself. Probably prefect with a game meal.

Loved this one. A bit on the acidic side, agrumes nose.

We've had this wine for almost two years and finally decided to open it. What took us so long? My wife couldn't stop singing its praise and the worst part was we only bought one when we had the chance.

This wine really shows how diverse California wine is. This syrah a little PPP pricey but deferently worth it. It's an imcredubly rich, but fresh wine. This wine is incredibly dry and full a dark fruit like any other syrah, but incredibly fresh and juicey like a pinot noir. With thick, chewy tannins.

My first experience drinking a Santa Barbara Syrah and I am impressed. Flavorful nose Full fruit taste with an excellent tannic finish
