Mulvane Wine Co. 2012 White Hawk Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / White Hawk Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Mulvane Wine Co. / Santa Barbara County

Luxury goods executive-turned-winemaker Rocco Califano presents a slightly reductive bottling, with barnyard-leaning scents of soy, rubber and pepper. The flavors are also more savory than sweet, with mushrooms, roasted game, leather and pencil lead.
