This is a new source of Syrah for us from the Alisos Canyon region of Santa Barbara County. Some of you may be familiar with this vineyard from some of the outstanding bottlings from Ojai Winery. The well drained alluvial soils along with the cooler zone1 climate produces a rich, dark concentrated wine. Patience with this wine should reward you with an outstanding syrah with a few years in the cellar or with a long decanting if you can not wait. As with all our syrahs, fermentation included whole clusters, 50% for this wine, to add complexity to the aromatic and flavor profile.
