Medium to deep ruby-purple, the 2017 Syrah Tous les Jours opens with notes of tar and smoke, giving way to peppered meat, black olive and dense black and blue fruits with floral notions.

The 2014 Syrah Tous les Jours is a total charmer and checks in as 100% Syrah from a bevy of Santa Ynez vineyards (all are within five miles of the winery). Notes of barbecue smoke, plums, licorice and pepper give way to a medium-bodied, juicy, lively, lightly textured beauty that has considerable charm and elegance. Buy a case and drink it over the coming couple of years.
