  Quite enjoyable, quite smooth, nose of olives, like a Cornas. Lot of fruit still available so I would guess it will continue to improve over the next couple of years. One of the better Santa Barbara syrahs I have had.

  3h air for this Ballard Canyon syrah. Complex bouquet with notes of plum, black cherry, smoke, bacon fat, pepper and anise. Full-bodied, with aggressive grippy tannins and an uncomplicated palate: dark fruit and cherry, smoky notes and a spicy finish. Not bad, but it lacks balance and complexity. Maybe it needs more time, and it has the robustness to support further aging, though I think there's better options out there for cellar space.

  Beautiful California Syrah. Rich, a little oak-y, luscious but not at all messy - nice structure, delicious flavor.
