Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 22, 2018 - The Edmunds St. John Syrah journey has been a wandering path. It moved through winemaking facilities, as well as vineyards. The one constant has been Steve. His style has evolved over the 30+ years, but has always been on the unvarnished end of the spectrum. The grape and the site allowed to shine through.

So it’s no surprise that the 2014 Barsotti Ranch Syrah is Syrah without makeup. Barely medium bodied, it’s limber and constantly in motion. Upon first opening it appears fresh, crunchy and uncomplicated. Twenty four hours later the layers appear. Savory compliments fruity. Earthy and menthol elements persist on the finish. Forward and inviting now, it will likely age as ESJ Syrah always has, long and with great profit.
