Deep ruby, the 2017 Syrah Santa Barbara, made with 20% whole cluster and no new oak, has a nose of white pepper, green peppercorn, cedar shavings, grilled beef, licorice and chocolate with warm black cherry compote, prosciutto, fried herbs and red cherry sparks. It's full-bodied in the mouth with firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness to lift the long finish.
