Casa Barranca
Thompson Vineyard Syrah
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
Santa Barbara vineyard - 2004 version.
Berries, tobacco on the front palate, and peppery aftertaste. Astringent to a good degree. Strong aroma but friendly to the palate.

California Syrah basking in its simplicity and humble character. Table wine material thankfully...not overpowering at all.

Aug 24th, 2015These people seem to make such appropriate table wine, never trying to be anything it's not, just taking it nice and easy and keeping all the wine very pure at heart. I appreciate that. Too bad I wasn't eating anything at this point in the evening. Strawberries, raisins, ripeness on point, and mellow all the way around.
