Pretty color. Light ruby with a watery rim. Being 55% syrah I would've thought there'd be more savory meaty notes on the nose but while there are some slight notes I get a lot more leather and super ripe red fruits. The palate confirms that with some nice acidity that make me want to drink more and a finish that continues for awhile. Santa Barbara does good Rhone blends, outside of Rhone.
