SANTA BARBARA COUNTY | BALLARD CANYON AVA
Our Larner Vineyard Syrah is planted in deep, sandy soils over a layer of chalk. Co-fermented with a touch of Viognier and 70% whole-clusters, this wine effortlessly balances elegance and power. Blue and black fruits jump of the glass, and are supported by tar, pepper and graphite. The palate shows more blackberry, green olive and baking spice. Finishes with a long mineral-laden complexity. Expect this wine to develop and gain complexity over the coming decade, and age well into the next.
USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
