Todos Santa Ynez Valley Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon

Very good. Exceptionally smooth. This was a great wine all around

Thanks @Leslie Johnson! Roasted meat, menacing dark red fruit, coffee. Hints of a Northern Rhone personality.

Full-bodied, with layers of cooked red and black fruit, a hint of orange peel, creamy tannins and bright acidity. Yum.

Everything that they make us in here 1500 cases.

For there entry blackberry madness. Good spice going for it. Got that nice texture.

Jammy!

I thought that this was going be much better than it was. A bit of a disappointment (a little bit of a rut here wine-wise here in the last few days). This wine has a great nose. Floral, herbs, hint of tobacco leaf, pepper, bacon, raspberry and kirsche. But the entry is a little bit metallic and flat, reminiscent of the nose. A little muted. The finish is a little bit tart and acidic and fades rather fast. Out of balance. Not really all that enjoyable and probably think this one would have done much better 1-2 years ago or perhaps maybe in a dumb phase?

Still digging it.

Very smooth

Balanced & powerful earthiness with longevity. Deep, gorgeous color, like Serena. Complex versatility and bigger victories ahead, once opened. Initial anise & brandied, dark stone fruit. Table with lamb or smoked game. …or a polish with mustard.
