Martin Ranch 2013 Thérèse Vineyards Lester Family Vineyards Syrah (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / Thérèse Vineyards Lester Family Vineyards
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Martin Ranch / Santa Cruz Mountains

This remarkably bone-dry wine from a cool-climate vineyard shows black plum, smoked beef, cracked peppercorn and slate scents on the nose. The palate recalls cedar and sandalwood, along with charcoal, pepper and soy-like flavors, framed by chalky and firm tannins.
