Jaffurs Wine Cellars
Santa Barbara County Syrah
Big boy.. Definitely a wine made for the big/jammy/toasty fan. Not my cup of tea, but made well and I'm sure has a following. Was a bit confused by the label.. Talked up as a benchmark for cool climate Syrah, but made in a warmer style.

Aug 15th, 2015Santa Barbara fruit punch, but much leaner and higher acid than the last one i tried. Great food wine, but enough fruit to enjoy on its own too

Mar 30th, 2017The 2012 Syrah bursts from the glass with dark red cherry, plum, smoke, lavender and sweet spices. Ample and juicy on the palate, the 2012 is an excellent choice for drinking over the next few years. (AG)

Dec 12th, 2016More fruit forward than I'd normally go for, but this one won me over. Big without being clunky.

Jan 14th, 2016Nice fruit at first sip and hot at finish which I love. Could even be a bit spicier for me.
