Country: US / White Label Bassi VIneyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Sinor-LaVallee / San Luis Obispo County
Mike Sinor’s lighter take on Syrah from his new coastal vineyard is refreshing though not quite as inviting as the Black Label. Black cherry, white sage and spearmint notes entice the nose, before the palate breathes in tart elderberries and black pepper, presented with tight tannins and brisk acidity.
