This alluring Syrah comes from the highly acclaimed Donnachadh Vineyard in Santa Barbara County’s famed Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Donnachadh’s vines are cooled by fog and coastal breezes off the Pacific Ocean, resulting in a luscious Syrah with enticing acidity, generous palate weight and flowing layers of blackberry, boysenberry, white pepper, vanilla and spice.

			Production
			On the Central Coast, cooler summer temperatures with no major heat events ensured a long growing season and abundant hangtime, leading to perfect ripeness and flavor development in the grapes. Lower-than-average yields and smaller berries resulted in incredibly rich and concentrated wines, with our Central Coast reds possessing amazing color, bright acids and deep, lush flavors, and our whites displaying beautiful brightness and sophisticated citrus and stone fruit layers.
