Cuvée Kristina Santa Barbara County Syrah Blend
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
These wines are extreme in style but pretty darn good. Blackberry compote, deer blood, black olive, tobacco leaf - all in the right places. Intensity everywhere and showing no signs of fading.

2017 Vintage. 14.8% Alcohol. Baby killing, but wow! 94% Syrah, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Graciano, 2% Clairette Blanche. Full bodied and busting with fruit. Some tannins to resolve so wait a few years and or extended decant.

Awesome wine with a few years to grow. Bing cherry, blackberries, smooth as silk tannins. Gorgeous in the glass and the dark, inky color hides how balanced and delicate this is. Truly delicious
