Carhartt Vineyard 2012 Rancho Santa Ynez Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Rancho Santa Ynez
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Carhartt Vineyard / Santa Ynez Valley

Very juicy if straightforward aromas of blueberry and blackberry rise off of this fun and easy-drinking Syrah from the Carhartt family, whose estate is in the middle of the Santa Ynez Valley. The palate builds on those ripe elements with a bit of tar and dried fruit.
