Description:
While the single vineyard designate Syrahs tend to highlight the individual characteristics of a particular vineyard or microclimate, the Santa Barbara County Syrah is proud to be the good will ambassador representing all that is good about Syrah from this area. As a careful blend comprised of five great local vineyards, this is one of the most well rounded representations of the depth of juicy dark berry flavors and chocolatey tannins that can be achieved with the synergy of multiple vineyards. It’s the warm, comfortable friend you can come home to any night of the week. It always likes you.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
