Bonaccorsi
Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah
Santa Maria Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Absolutely amazing. Rhone like meat and bordeaux like earth. Called left bank blind. Upon the initial pour manure and mulch jump from the glass with nuanced dry black fruit. Lead and pencil shavings with a cedar tone. With time, the glass developed into a closer representation of what a domestic syrah should be but still miles ahead of most because of its insane earth. Like new world fruit concentration meets the dankest earth of the old world. I was left intrigued, confused and reminded of why i love wine so damn much.

Maybe best Cali syrah I've had. Wilted flowers, pickled blackberry, sweet Kalamata olives--meaty on the palate with salami and black pepper notes, super smoky on finish. Everyone likes to call their Syrahs rhone style but this hits the mark!

Complexity over 2 days. Initially more a fruit bomb (think Aussie Shiraz). Day 2 brought smokey meat and a Côte-Rotie clone! Super interesting
