Luko 2005 White Hawk Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / White Hawk Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Luko / Santa Barbara County

Expensive, but worth it. Absolutely a first-rate dry red wine of great substance and authority. Shows full-bodied blackberry flavors with a meaty, leathery edge and hints of violets, tobacco, pepper and cocoa. Such is the tannic structure that the wine should develop through 2012.
