So happy with how the 2014 turned out. Super vibrant and fresh. Lots of meaty, salty, savory notes. 👍👍👍

Needs time. A little quiet on the nose and palate right now. Great fruit density along with coco, mushroom, and violets. Firm structure and well balanced with tasty spice on palate. Med finish. #vallin #syrah #santabarbara #wholcluster #california #usa #ctbucklinwine

Just a hint of pepper for a Syrah, not overpowering, includes plummy medium flavored with a smooth finish and a hint of spice.

This is pitched at a really nice level, fruit is well judged without being too thin or too overblown. Even at this young stage it drinks very well and is entirely ready to go. The 2013
