title: Zaca Mesa 2011 Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: The pioneering winery's basic Syrah, this is impressively complex and delicious, with aromas of coffee, blueberry, purple flowers, graphite and the slightest touch of beef jerky. The olallieberry-laced palate is pleasantly quaffable and yet dynamic, with clove, leather, pipe tobacco and spearmint elements spicing up the layers of dark fruit.
variety: Syrah
