Dark black-purple. Lifted, very perfumed aromas of blackberry, pepper, Ruby Red grapefruit, and cream with subtle stem notes adding interest in the background. On the palate, yowzers! Such incredible texture, such impeccable balance. Plenty of dark berry fruit and Ruby Red grapefruit (again!) to complement all the wonderful Santa Lucia Highlands spice. Finishes long and gently tannic.

The 2021 Syrah Sierra Mar is outrageously beautiful. Dark, savory and mineral, the Sierra Mar dazzles from the very first taste. Black cherry, cured meats, tobacco, incense and black pepper are some of the many notes that build in the glass. This powerful, explosive Syrah exudes concentration and depth, while retaining tons of energy. It is a stunning example of what is possible with Syrah in the Santa Lucia Highlands.

The 2021 Syrah Sierra Mar Vineyard is lifted and a touch more primary, with aromas of punchy fruit, kirsch, cedar, and fresh herbs. Full-bodied and approachable now, with juicy mixed berries, olive, and a touch of smoky earth, it has a snappy lift of orange oil on the finish. Drink 2023-2033.
