Huge wine with immense structure, broad shoulders and nicely tuned acidity. Cocky tannins and packed with sweet dark berries, spicy minerality and hints of pan-fried herbs, this large-scaled creature is impressive on so many levels, but for me personally, a touch too big.

Santa Cruz! Frenchie finally relaxed. A rare evolved CA Syrah showing secondaries.
