2010 Carucci Syrah Thompson Vineyard
6/7/2014 - pcarpe41 Likes this wine:
Light purple. Smoke, savory dried herbs, iron, with a hidden fresh red fruit note (strawberry). Consistent, Medium palate with a clean mouthfeel. Fresh blueberry on finish. Not the typical Thompson Syrah offering. Eric has captured amazing liveliness from one of Santa Barbara's historic vineyards.

2008 Tercero Syrah Larner Vineyard

Beautiful garnet. Some pencil lead, smoke, ripe raspberry, leather. Consistent nose with sweet and savory herbs bouncing around. Finish has great acid streak. Getting the effect you get when eating ginger bread cookies. Zingy ginger note. Fruit isn't massive, tannins are in line, acid is lively but not out of control. Larry is killin' it with Larner fruit.

2010 Myriad Cellars Syrah 100% Whole Cluster Las Madres Vineyard

Let breathe for two hours. WOW! A savory, masculine beast upon initial sniff. Quite NoRhone-ish! Iron, iodine, earth, tobacco, smoke. All savory...no fruit. Got some rye notes. Opening up quite nicely. Great nimbleness in the mouth...acid, but with a long finish. Very chalky...and grippy from all the stems. Some very ripe, dark blueberries with hint of oak on the very end as it slips down the gullet. Holy crap, is this a beautiful wine.
