title: Bonny Doon 2012 Bien Nacido X Block Syrah (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Very concentrated purple flowers aromas of violet and lavender are tough to crack at this early age, with pressed olallieberry, menthol and a forest floor tartness on the nose as well. The palate is quite tight, with espresso, underripe elderberry and plum-skin flavors, but the incredible energy and slight gamy character keeps it quite intriguing.
variety: Syrah
designation: Bien Nacido X Block
