Another cool-climate style effort, the 2012 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard has lots of smoke, pepper meats, blackberry and marine-like minerality on the nose. Medium+-bodied, tight, concentrated and balanced, with moderate tannin, drink this classy 2012 over the coming 7-8 years. It was fermented with 45% whole clusters and spent 19 months in French oak.
