Foxen 2012 Tinaquaic Vineyard Syrah (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Foxen / Tinaquaic Vineyard

This dry-farmed vineyard reliably delivers memorable wines, including this Syrah, redolent with notes of oregano, thyme, charred beef and tar. The herbs, fruit and smoke integrate smoothly on the palate, with boysenberry fruit in the background and crushed bouquet garni on the front.
