Andrew Murray
Roasted Slope Vineyard Syrah
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
I was excited to try this based on Andrew Murray's excellent Tous les Jours.
Indeed, this did not disappoint. Deep red in the glass. A very interesting cola note combined with violets on the nose. Initially, I was concerned this was going to be underwhelming after a few sips. But with some time in the glass, it opened nicely. Lovely mouth coating wild strawberries and brambleberry. Excellent oak integration. Medium tannins. Very good showing.

Great balance of old and new. Big fruit, but restrained. Good pepper and earth.
