Firestone 2014 Clone 174 Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Clone 174
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Firestone / Santa Ynez Valley

Roasted meats, black fruit, charcoal and tar show on the nose of this clonal selection from this pioneering winery that is now owned by Bill Foley. The medium-bodied sip shows roasted blackberries, boysenberries and black currants, with charred meat leading into a caramelized finish. The acid and tannin levels are solid right now and will age well too.
