2022 Ex Post Facto Syrah, Santa Barbara County, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Aroma of dried blackberry and flavors of peppercorn, black cherry and raspberry. Firm, dry and persistent on the palate.

TASTING NOTES:

So peppery, savory, smoky and meaty in aroma, showing the wild side of the grape variety. Sour cherries, black pepper, singed herbs, wood char, graphite and iron flavors. Medium-bodied, racy with acidity and nicely chewy in tannins.

- James Suckling, 95 pts.

Sourced from the Perilune Vineyard, the 2022 Syrah is pretty and spice-driven on the nose, with green peppercorns, dried cloves, olive brine and menthol aromas. The palate is bright, red-fruited and supple, finishing on a balanced, simple, savory note.
