2019 Syrah/Grenache - Cuvée D'Inspiration, Santa Barbara County
95 points - Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate
"The 2019 Syrah/Grenache Cuvée d'Inspiration has a medium ruby-purple color and pure aromas of red and black currants, mint leaves, earth and citrus peel. The medium-bodied palate is approachable and refreshing, its bright acidity accenting spicy, floral accents, and it has a long, juicy finish." -Erin Brooks

"Hibiscus, black raspberry and a hint of leather combine fruit, flower and funk on the nose of this blend of 75% Syrah and 25% Grenache. There's a bright freshness to the sip, where the raspberry flavors are lifted by sagebrush, thyme and fennel pollen, as acidity pushes long into the finish." -Matt Kettmann

"This blend starts off all woozy and purple, stewed plums and sea air. But once its reduction blows off the wine’s aromatics bloom into scents of pepper, olive, kelp and dried herbs—with a brightness that reminds one of Campari. The flavors pop as the wine opens toward plum and raspberry, framed by savory, olive-scented tannins. A grand performance for lamb." -P.J.C.
