Lucia Vineyards (Pisoni)
Soberanes Vineyard Syrah
Santa Lucia Highlands, Central Coast, California, USA
Delicious. Alban clone Syrah grown in cool climate Santa Lucia hands farmed by the ever capable Mark Pisoni and made by his equally astute brother Jeff. Awesome. Cote rotie like and fashionable! Deeeeep and dark but exudes elegance at the same time.

Heavy for the vintage, dark lush and savory needed a day to open in a shut down phase right now.

Apr 15th, 2020Serious stuff. Almost crozes like in its mineral crunchiness. Still has a lot of fat to shed. 2 years ago it was balls out and now it needs a few more years to develop what is definitely going to become some awesome trrschiary fruit. Loads of coffee and bacon fat with bramble fruit. Hell of a wine but at this point give it 3-5years and the reward will be great

Jan 23rd, 2020My favorite of the Pisoni lineup these days. Very Rhone like in its character. Lots of meat, Rose petals and spice. Beautiful wine. This is aging really nicely

Paired with meatball grinders and post-F1 qualifying day exhaustion… excellent

Rich, viscous dark fruits with a good dose of tannins. More impressed with this bottle than the last.

Nov 3rd, 2017Very nice, but pinotesque - subtle, with a good amount if red fruit - yet missing the bang or the twang of a really great syrah.
