Piedrasassi
Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah
Santa Maria Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Tastes like a cigar box smells.....in a cedar closet. Super bitter barky aftertaste, and dirty swig-from-the-bottle fun after two days open. Something amazing from Lompoc.

This wine has totally stumped me. Meaty, black olives, super super tight tannins. Jack brought up a great note about how there is dried mushroom written all over this (dried porcini?). Think I jumped the gun on this one, but I find it really reassuring to see this style of Syrah coming out of California. Have a few more bottles stowed away and can’t with to see what comes of them.
