2006 Tierra Alta Syrah
$28.00
This vineyard is a jewel on the edge of the Ballard Canyon area of Los Olivos. This valley is unique in that it runs North / South vs. the ‘normal’ East / West runs of other valley in the area. This vineyard sits at the Northern edge of the area, and has established itself as a top notch source for syrah, grenache, and many other varieties.
This wine is made in a more elegrant, more restrained manner than many other syrahs on the market. It’s not an oozer, but instead boasts violet, dark blueberry, and exotic spice aromatics to go along with its rich mouth feel and fruit laden finish. Another wine to either enjoy now or lay down for a few years . . .
