Experience the profound elegance of this 98-point Decanter-rated Syrah from California’s renowned Santa Barbara County. Sourced from elite vineyards—Bien Nacido, Rancho Boa Vista, and Sanford & Benedict—this bold blend (83% Syrah with Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Petite Sirah) delivers layered complexity for discerning collectors.

Captivating Character & Craftsmanship
Unfold earthy whispers of wild truffle and game, evolving into luxurious milk chocolate and black fig richness. The palate balances power with finesse—full-bodied concentration meets satin-textured tannins, framed by peppery bacon fat and iron nuances. Expertly crafted using 35% whole clusters and aged 20 months in French oak (63% new barrels), it achieves remarkable depth while retaining vibrant freshness.

Age-Worthy Investment
Rated 97 points by Jeb Dunnuck, this wine’s structure promises exceptional evolution. Though approachable now, cellaring for 2-3 years unlocks its peak potential, with drinking enjoyment extending 10-15 years beyond. At 15.8% alcohol, it’s a substantial yet graceful expression of premium California Syrah.

The Ultimate Collector’s Choice
As a limited Fine & Rare category selection, this vintage stands apart for its vineyard pedigree, artisanal techniques, and critic accolades. Ideal for special occasions or strategic wine investments, it offers a singular tasting journey through Santa Barbara’s terroir.
