Santa Ynez Valley Syrah

Zaca Mesa! Very fruit forward.

Dark ruby in color with a purplish-red rim.

Fruity on the nose with blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, licorice, vanilla, medicine, oak, eucalyptus, spices peppercorn and herbs.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and nice legs.

Tart on the palate with cherries, red currants, leather, earth, raspberries, wood, light vanilla, sage, animal notes, spices, sweet herbs, peppercorn and graphite.

Medium finish with soft tannins, raspberries and bitter herbs.

A Drinkable Syrah from California. Simple with lots of spicy notes. Not very special, with a bitter aftertaste. Still unbalanced and needs a few years in the bottle to mature.

Grapes were hand harvested, and fermented with some Viognier grapes. Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels.

14.1% alcohol by volume.

This thing backs a punch! Full bodied, peppery bit with a fruity finish. Love me some Cali Syrah!

V12. Soft smokey nose. Juicy black berry fruit. Dry leathery finish. Nice food or entertaining wine

Smooth blackberry fruit and a little baking spice. Nice and easy.

Deep, berry forward. Slight tobacco.

Interesting but disappointing.

Dark berry, spicy and earthy, great bold flavor for equally bold food.

Really liked this and want to buy more!!

Complex smooth long lasting taste for a Syrah.
