Our Sta. Rita Hills Syrah is a blend of two vineyards from a critical eastern juncture of the appellation, where the grape truly shines. Black currant, pancetta tesa and tapenade introduce a taut, fresh Syrah that takes firm hold of the palate with darker elements of plum skin and cacao nib. Vibrant, though a little stern in its youth, the wine’s structure and penchant for food will guide it through a long drinking window.
