Whoa. VA city. Beautiful blackberry/olive/meat underneath, but hard to taste, and I don't mind a little VA lift in my glass. Other, more recent vintages have been very clean, but not this bottle. FWIW, other folks really enjoyed it.

We had the pleasure of visiting Whitcraft winery and got to hang with Chris P. Bacon (Crispy Bacon). Off the beaten path of Santa Barbara’s urban trail; these guys are committed to a non-interventionist approach to their wines. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and kind enough to show us a bit of what he was working on before we showed up.
COLOR: Garnet core fading to a maroon edge with tones of purple & burgundy.
NOSE: Excellent!!! Fresh whole cluster stem, green bell pepper & rich topsoil stand above fainter notes of young blackberry & baking chocolate.
TASTE: You can definitely tell this a whole cluster wine exhibiting the terrior of Matt’s Vineyard, aka Clover Creek throughout the palate . Black cherry, organic sour cherry, juicy blueberry, green leaf veggies, white pepper, leather & lilac.
FEEL: Silky smooth

A softer Syrah from Central Coast. Enough cracked pepper there without dominating the nose. Really refreshing acidity, at just under 13% alcohol. Crushable and interesting simultaneously.
