  June 2, 2019 - Walk Around of Medal Winners from ’19 San Diego Int’l Wine Challenge (Coasterra (Cohn Restaurant Group), San Diego, CA): Estate grown frt from San Diego County's largest grape-growing operation, "located between Temecula & Warner Springs on the N slope of Palomar Mtn" @ ≈ 2,400 ft elev;
  
  N: FRAGRANT smoke atop ripe berries with DEFINITE greenish notes (pyrazines?)
  
  P: LM body; NICE, almost swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which loses virtually ALL its punch by the LONG, balanced finish with a tangy/SWTNESS to the DUSTY tannins. Nicely done! My EXC-/EXC; Platinum (94 pts) & "Best Syrah" from '19 S.D. Int'l Challenge, & Gold (90) from '19 Monterey Int'l, both @ $33.95.
