Medium to deep ruby-purple, the 2016 Syrah Californio opens with notes of dusty earth and graphite over a core of blackcurrants with nuances of loamy earth, tar, cigar ash and grilled meats. The palate is full-bodied with well-managed ripeness, mineral-laced fruits, a finely chalky frame and good freshness to lift the finish.

A tight, juicy red with dried-meat and blackberry flavors. Full body. Clove, stone and spice undertones. Reserved, yet pretty. Medium finish. Drink now.
