Campbell Ranch Vineyard Syrah
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
Tannins, acid, and fruit never came together in a dance... felt rigid. Had this alongside Melville and Holus Bolus, which were more enjoyable now. Am I missing something with the v97 rating??!?

Nice quality/price ratio. Dark squid-ink purple. 13.1 ABV... not a hint of jammy, sweet, over-the-top-richness. Pleasant mid-weight dinner companion. Good not great. Nice acid/fruit balance...lots of blackberry/blueberry/cherry hints.

True cool site Sonoma coast Syrah in the hands of talented winemakers is criminally underrated. Delicious first night, falls apart overnight in the fridge. Beware.

Nov 13th, 2021Beautiful new world Syrah…13.1 ABV…med-weight glory. Smooth, silky , balanced with a stellar finish. Dark, rich purple with a touch of dirt to play off the dark berry notes. These guys make great Pinot Noir… but at around $30 this is a brilliant bargain!

More of a tannic backbone than the Peter’s Vineyard from this same vintage. Red fruited with a touch of graphite. To me, it definitely has new world fruit, but it’s not overdone by any means.
