2023 Scar of the Sea Syrah Bassi Vineyard

“If this vibrant, peppery yet crystal clean bottling is any hint, there's a whole new world of cool-climate Syrah coming. Elderberry, black raspberry and intense black-pepper aromas show on the nose, sans the typical gamy funk. The palate is elegant, crunchy and floral, with dynamic while fun flavors of crisp black fruit and peppery spice.” – Matt Kettmann Review Date: July 2023
