Fess Parker 2012 Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US /
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Fess Parker / Santa Barbara County

Plump blackberries, sweet violets and a slight brushing of tar show on the nose of this straightforward, everything-you-expect Syrah. Bright acidity contains the dark fruit on the palate, with dense blackberries and elderberries dusted by black pepper and a touch of thyme.
