Tasting notes:
Beautiful crushed blackberry and blueberry on the nose with some spice accents
Full bodied and richly textured
Long, dark fruit finish with chocolate, fig, and pepper accents
Summary:
I continue to discover great Syrah from Santa Barbara County, California. This wine has the big, bold fruit characteristic of the appellation, accented by spice, chocolate, and pepper. It's drinking beautifully right now at five years of age, and will probably taste great for another five. Don't miss what's going on in this region.
I paid just $16 for this bottle, although it was discounted a bit. Put in a roast and raise a glass!
