Full-bodied Syrah from the Santa Rosa Valley in coastal Ventura County. This agricultural valley opens to the Pacific and funnels cold air into the valley each evening, creating dark, bold Syrah with a core of vibrant acidity. 96% Syrah, 2% Petite Sirah, and 2% Grenache. Dark blackberry fruit, black pepper, cardamom spice, and umami notes combined into a distinctly old-world rendition of coastal Syrah.
The promise of Ventura County vineyards are strong in this bottling, which also includes 2% of both Grenache and Petite Sirah. Dark-blackberry, violet, lavender and white-pepper aromas lead into a palate where dried purple-flower flavors play with both tangy and fruity black-plum elements.
