Loads of fruit and spices, quite complex, super smooth and well balanced. Seems to be at its peak, but no rush. Drink or continue to hold for the short term. (136 views) | | | Tasted by SPfromTX on 3/11/2023 & rated 96 points: Every time I open this it gets better. Dark complex fruits on nose, plus spices such as cardamom, oak, vanilla, ripe plum; then after a quick swirl, bright cherry, hint of caramel, dark cocoa, black oak, ever changing complexity. Luxurious sip of soft but solid tannins, perfectly balanced acidity, allows fruit to shine, rich and full bodied, long long finish. Sadly, my last bottle of this vintage. (284 views) | | | Tasted by SPfromTX on 5/29/2022 & rated 95 points: Plum, blackberry, cassis, oak, vanilla, and more on the nose. Smooth silky tannins balanced with jammy fruitiness on the palate, touch of cinnamon on backend. Full body, and long long long finish. Has aged perfectly, fruit has dropped off yielding to countless interesting complexities. (486 views) | | | Tasted by Chirality on 12/9/2019 & rated 93 points: Beautiful red -violet color. Aromas of prunes and herbs. Upon tasting, bright and fruity tempered with vanilla and oakiness. Finishes with spicy plum, raisin, black pepper and ginger. A great Syrah— an example of why Santa Barbara County wines have become world class.

I’m definitely getting more. (1231 views) |
| Andrew Murray Producer websiteSyrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. 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
