2023 Andrew Murray Vineyards 'Tous Les Jours' Syrah, Central Coast, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

The Syrah Tous les Jours is a quintessential Santa Ynez Valley Syrah. It is simultaneously Bold and Balanced, Rich and Smooth, Fruit Forward and Earthy. It is impossibly dark and full-bodied, without ever going over the top. It is heavily inspired by Northern Rhone Syrah (Hermitage) and Australian Shiraz (Barossa Valley). The aromas and flavors are dominated by black cherry, raspberry, white pepper, forest floor and toasty oak. It is a unique and special expression of Syrah, perfected by us over the past 3 decades. Moreover, it is a style that one can enjoy every day.

TASTING NTOES:

Tasted just after bottling, the 2023 Syrah Tous les Jours is once again an unbelievable value that packs in a ridiculous amount of character and fruit density. Blackberry, mocha, black cherry, graphite and sweet pipe tobacco flesh out in the glass. The 2023 is a mouth-coating, perfectly balanced wine that's loaded with juicy fresness and so much nuance. Just mind-bendingly good for the price.
