Country: US / Thompson Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Jaffurs / Santa Barbara County

Lilac, crème de cassis and grape Jolly Rancher scents are layered with anise and lavender touches on the nose of this bottling from one of the winery’s favorite vineyards. The palate dives into deep fruit flavors, like concentrated boysenberry and olallieberry, enlivened by Christmas spice, juniper and pine. It’s all framed by an intense and unwavering tannic structure. Drink now–2028.
