Dark red fruit and and black fruits really stand out. Less musky and more fruit concentrated on the nose. Great color and mouthfeel. Classic peppery finish for this cool climate style.

Ripe blueberries and blackberries carry the nose of this opaque and exotic Syrah. The mouth is enticed with flavors of coffee, coca, vanilla and ripe fruit, this Santa Maria Valley Syrah is one to try!

Never had their syrah, or very much of their wine in general. This surprised, with a good balance of blue and black fruit, black pepper, sage and bacon fat. No oak sticking out, good acidity and restraint on the palate. Quite nice. 🌿πŸ₯“

Solid 9.0. Raspberries, blackberries and chocolate. Perfect pairing with a rack of lamb, roast potatoes, asparagus, carrots, and olive and rosemary focaccia.
