Here's a hot new winery from Santa Barbara we recently discovered! Their Syrah is killer - lush, ripe, and peppery, with a ton of blackberry and dark cherry fruit at a very sweet price. This is one to get by the case.

As a careful blend produced from five excellent Santa Barbara County vineyards, this Syrah again exhibits the classic characteristics of the region with rich blackberry aromas and a dense meaty palate with hints of dark cherry, mocha, and a touch of spice. The long chocolaty finish is probably the standout characteristic, almost reminiscent of those little chocolate covered cherries. Twenty four months of aging in a combination of American and French barrels provides structure with just a touch of oak and soft tannins. We're selling this too inexpensively, but that's the beauty of not having a multimillion dollar chateau to pay for.

"Very good wine, with cherry-berry-mocha fruit and a dusty tinge of spice. Its the quality of the tannins and the overall balance that lend this wine harmony and power."
