This is a Syrah that is ready to go less than 2 years in the bottle!
Sam is a master at extraction and this wine shows it- maintaining an undeniable freshness while holding a strong stance in the weight and body department like it's been hitting the gym. Incredible presence and character and crunch! The balance of acid, tannin and fruit is a waltz, no actually more of a symphony of harmonics.

Beautifully ripe red and blue berry fruit aromas and flavors, beautifully balanced and restrained Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah, long, lingering finish, this is really super juice!!

Too young have to be patient. Bitter sour but should be good in 2023-25
