The 2019 Syrah is inky purple with aromas of blackberry, dried herbs, and white pepper. This wine has a deep richness nicely cut by its acidity. Full-bodied, with rich flavors of baked blueberries, spice and oak.
Aromas of honeysuckle, apple blossom and lemon zest are followed by soft accents of vanilla. Apricot and honeydew flavors flow across the palate, with lightly toasted oak, cool minerality and a lingering citrus note adding texture and depth. This wine is medium-bodied with a clean, persistent finish.
The 2018 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir has a rich ruby color with aromas of raspberry and ripe cherry. Subtle notes of cedar are just behind the fruit. Medium-bodied and well-balanced, cherry pie and sweet tobacco leaf cross the palate for a smooth, lingering finish.
