title: Cooper-Garrod 2010 Finley Vineyard Estate Syrah (Santa Cruz Mountains)
description: The pretty but powerful nose is like striking a gusher of black gold in a field of lavender, full of tar, violet and blueberry. Leather and deep purple fruit lead the palate, with charred meat savoriness, black pepper spice and plum skin tannins making a good case for this seven-acre vineyard that was planted in 1998.
variety: Syrah
designation: Finley Vineyard Estate
