title: Zaca Mesa 2009 Mesa Reserve Estate Grown and Bottled Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: This is consistently one of Zaca Mesa's best Syrahs of several bottlings they produce every vintage. The mildly cool year was kind to the fruit, giving controlled blackberry and black currant flavors that are wrapped in refined tannins. The wine finishes with a swirl of smoke and peppery spice, plus a touch of warmth from the alcohol. Drink now–2015.
variety: Syrah
designation: Mesa Reserve Estate Grown and Bottled
