Description:
The meal is a distant memory, just a ballast in your keel. The relatives have all put on their heavy coats and gone home, finally. The kids are in bed, quiet for the first time since waking. Even the dog has finally called it a day and guards the smoldering fire with snores and the occasional twitch of the tail. You open the liquor cupboard and shuffle some bottles around, careful not to make too much noise, dare the Misses hears you.
There, just towards the back where that fat old spider lives, a familiar friend fills your palm and the heft of the glass is reassuring that the night is almost over.
Our Santa Barbara County Tawny Syrah is a Port-style wine, but we can't call it that, thanks to the international trade agreement. This is a big, massive wine that will make it holistically apparent why we call it The Eliminator

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.
