title: Jaffurs 2012 Kimsey Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
description: This wine from a newer vineyard in the recently named Ballard Canyon appellation offers aromas of boysenberry, black pepper and a judicious amount of creosote. It's elegantly structured along a line of ripe purple to tarry black flavors—think burnt ends of beef tip coated in smashed wild berries and crushed Indian spices.
variety: Syrah
designation: Kimsey Vineyard
