Zaca Mesa 2009 Estate Grown and Bottled Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Estate Grown and Bottled
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Zaca Mesa / Santa Ynez Valley

This is soft, smooth and refined, with rich, complex blackberry, cassis, bacon, pepper and smoky cedar flavors. Good as it is, it will develop bottle complexities over the next eight years. Almost as good as Zaca Mesa’s more expensive Syrahs.
