Big Basin Syrah (Santa Cruz Mountains) 2018

WineSaint
Inky and concentrated with impressive mineral drive. Whole cluster fermentation brings aromatic complexity while preserving the wine's savory core. Black fruit, graphite, herbs and forest floor build with serious intensity. The structure is formidable. Needs cellaring through 2026.
