The 2015 Syrah Santa Maria Valley Bien Nacido Vineyard offers up a pretty bouquet of violets, rose petal, plum and grilled meat. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and full of youthful energy, with a tight-knit core, fine-grained tannins and bright acids that carry through the sapid, tangy finish. Forget this in the cellar for a few years and then follow it for the next decade.
