Young and fruit driven. Everything is there and the last sip was the best. Open this for hours or try to keep a few years.

Well made but too ripe and sweet for me. 14.2% alcohol.

This wine is 100% Syrah. More specifically, the "Estrella" (or "Star") clone of Syrah. The grapes were hand harvested and the wine was fermented with native yeast. It spent 18 months in French oak of which 30% was new. Smoked meat, mixed berries, violets, & pepper. #santabarbara #star
