Novy 2012 Sierra Mar Syrah (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Sierra Mar
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Novy / Santa Lucia Highlands

The distinct black and white pepper nose on this wine by Siduri’s Adam Lee evolves into gingerbread and cinnamon, all backed up by riper scents of blackberry extract. It’s light in density, but pops with black cherry and more berry flavors, all carrying a citrus-like tannic grip.
