A great example of what cool climate syrah can be in CA, shows a spectrum of dark fruits. Hasn’t had a chance to develop much complexity yet, but it will with a few more years in bottle.

This impressive wine embodies an Old World pedigree with New World sensibilities. I want to be polite; I am frequently underwhelmed by California Syrah. However, reds from the Northern Rhone are among my favorite reds in the world. This wine manages to bridge the great divide for me. It has all of the lovely savory notes one expects from the Rhone accompanied by delicious blue and brambly fruits you find in New World. Sadly I only purchased two bottles. Hopefully I can find more.

Great #newworld #syrah Attractive spiciness and fresh red and black fruit. Gripping tannins. Lacked the fruitiness I usually find in #california Syrah. I will be very interested to see this in 4 years. #anthilllfarms #sonmacoast

Big wine with smoke and forest aromas. Eat it with a medium rare steak or even a burger.

Fantastic value. Could drink this all day. In fact, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

For the money, find me another $25 domestic Syrah that does a better young Cote Rotie impression. I fucking dare you.
