"Notes of olallieberry, white pepper, cedar, green olive, cinnamon, candied walnuts, and chocolate dusted acai berries." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"This label by Winemaker Curt Schalchlin might one of the Central Coast's best bang-for-the-buck bottlings on the market today. The Syrah impresses right away on the nose, with hints of nori wrap, soy, cracked pepper and singed tobacco set against wild berry and dried thyme. The palate's sizzling acidity carries flavors of fresh berry, fennel frond and thyme-laced pepper." —Wine Enthusiast "Another terrific effort is the 2017 Syrah, which spent 15 months in neutral barrels. It has cool-climate notes of blackberries, ground pepper, sappy flowers, and hints of bacon fat. Medium-bodied, elegant, and juicy on the palate, it's California's answer to a top Saint Joseph." —Jeb Dunnuck |
