From the renowned Los Alamos Vineyard, the 2017 Syrah captivates with its deep, inky color and a bouquet that tantalizes the senses with ripe blackberries, cracked pepper, and hints of smoked meat. Scoring 95 points, this wine reveals a velvety texture on the palate, where layers of dark fruit intertwine with subtle notes of cocoa and a touch of minerality, reflecting the unique terroir of Santa Barbara County. Its balanced acidity and fine tannins make it incredibly food-friendly, pairing beautifully with grilled lamb or a rich mushroom risotto. This Syrah not only stands out for its exceptional quality but also represents a remarkable value, delivering a top-tier experience well beyond its peers.
