Windy Oaks Estate Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah 2013
A gorgeous perfumed nose with dark fruit lifts from the glass and leads to juicy blackberry, gamey notes and black pepper. A long fresh finish wraps up nice and clean with a touch of flint and leaves you ready for another sip. A tremendous food wine! Reminiscent of Northern Rhone style Syrah, this has become one of our favorite domestic Syrah’s to date.
