"The 2020 Syrah (Santa Barbara County) is terrific. Rich and pliant, with notable fruit presence, the 2020 hits all the right notes. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and licorice all meld together. The purity of the fruit and pedigree are remarkable at this level. The 2020 offers terrific depth and intensity, yet remains light on its feet. Best of all, it should be a screaming value. Vineyard sites are John Sebastiano, Rim Rock and Bien Nacido." Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, 92 pts
The Bien Nacido Vineyard has been a bellwether for Santa Barbara County Syrah for decades. This wine is produced from two of the very best vineyards planted in Bien Nacido, resulting in a wine that displays a real elegance. Decanting and patience are recommended as the complexities in this Syrah can take several hours to reveal themselves fully. But it really is well and truly worth the wait!
