Rendarrio Vineyards 2014 The Lost Ones Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / The Lost Ones
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Rendarrio Vineyards / Santa Barbara County

Fairly shy aromas of blackberry juice, uncracked peppercorns and dried lilacs show on the nose of this bottling by Ryan Render. Cooked meat flavors are evident on the sip, including bacon fat and charred beef, and there is a rich blackberry-sauce component as well. Cracked pepper also arises, making this a Syrah that will please many palates.
