Excellent and lots of life left. Sad that people don’t drink Syrah more often.

2012—as good as CA Syrah gets. Drink 5-10 years from now.

An incredible Syrah from California. Meaty, smoky, grilled herbs and nicely framed fruit. Dead ringer for Northern Rhone.

Just a great bottle of wine with our lamb burger! Smokey, leather, but yet beautiful fruit present on the palate!

Beautiful white pepper on this wine. I could not believe it was a 2010. Seemed so young! Could lay down for another 10 years!!!

2012. Classic Santa Barbara smoky blue fruit. Full bodied and ripe with just enough acidity and tannin to keep it balanced.
