RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

Sweet sage, lavender, smoky crushed stone and blackcurrant aromas smolder up from the glass. On the palate, it is soothingly round and seamless, with savory depths of citrus-laced blackberry and minerals guided by brisk acidity. Concentration and edgy tannins stain the palate, while the finish is energetic and crisp.

94Jeb Dunnuck

...exotic aromatics of ripe black cherries, plums, flowery incense, iron, and peppery herbs...concentrated, medium to full-bodied, has a dense mid-palate, ripe tannins, and a great finish.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Super-fresh, lavender floral character laced with sweet boysenberry. Intense fruit impact initially, light spice, moderate length – good freshness to the finish.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast

Central Coast AVA is a huge wine producing area that extends from Santa Barbara County in the south to San Francisco in the north. With more than 100,000 vineyard acres, it includes parts of six counties near the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 20 smaller AVAs lie within the Central Coast AVA. Central Coast earned appellation status in 1985. Included in the appellation are parts of the counties of Contra Costa, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz. Nearly every grape varietal grown in California is grown somewhere in the Central Coast AVA, though Chardonnay accounts for nearly 50% of the entire wine grape crop.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
