Country: US / Murmur Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Amor Fati / Santa Maria Valley

Baked blackberries meet with caramel, vanilla, forest floor and a tart plum skin touch on the nose of this bottling by the Paso Robles-based Tooth & Nail team. It’s smooth and soft on the sip, with black currant, elderberry, pepper dust, charcoal and rosemary flavors. It’s ripe but with a very dry edge.
