Zinke 2012 Thompson Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / Thompson Vineyard
Variety: Syrah California
Winery: Zinke / Santa Barbara County

Thick blackberry syrup and loads of black pepper meet with dashes of asphalt and dried violets on the nose of this wine from a vineyard near Los Alamos. The palate combines plum-skin tartness and rustic elderberry with cedar and juniper berries, a pleasant blend of wood and fruit.
