One of the best new world syrahs I’ve ever had. Old world savory stem, peppercorn and violets with the amplifier cranked up by a notch or two on the ripe, glossy blackberry and raspberry fruit component. Abundant freshness and tannic structure to frame the opulent fruit

mid-weight Syrah, nice fruit, prominent floral notes of violets and lavendar, more subtle savory qualities

Sweet purple florals, ripe blue and black fruit. Pepper and spice, and smoked fatty meats. Shows great structural balance and approachability with juicy acid and some grip. Would love to try some of the more singular bottlings!

The 2016 Syrah (Santa Barbara County) is a gorgeous appellation-level wine. Dark and pliant with expressive savory and black pepper overtones, the 2016 delivers the goods. All the elements fall into place effortlessly. Sage and lavender overtones linger in the glass. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2018)
