This 2016 100% Syrah is a true reflection of the rugged beauty and nuanced terroir of the Santa Ynez Valley. This wine delivers a remarkable depth of character and balance. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of blackberry compote, dark plum, and black cherry layered with subtle notes of violets, crushed herbs, and a whisper of smoked meat. The extended oak aging imparts hints of vanilla, toasted cedar, and a touch of dark cocoa, complementing the fruit-forward profile.
