Zaca Mesa 2014 Estrella Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Estrella
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Zaca Mesa / Santa Ynez Valley

This wine has great potential to emerge as a classic in the years to come, but is a bit tightly wound right now. Hearty roasted plum and blackberry aromas are coated in smoke, chocolate shavings and subtle violet on the nose. The sip starts bright before the strong tannins take hold, hiding the dark berry and minty flavors.
