2005 Syrah, Santa Barbara County

The 2005 Santa Barbara County Syrah combines fruit from most of the vineyards we work with. Always big and bold, it is clearly more than the sum of its parts. A serious wine that is approachable in its youth. Powerful, dark, tar-y stuff., with a sweet, full finish. It shows cherry, mineral, spice flavors. Sharing the same farming and winemaking techniques as our vineyard designated wines, it is a wine of great complexity and lower price. (1164 cases produced)
