title: Kynsi 2004 Bien Nacido Vineyard ZB Syrah (Santa Maria Valley)
description: The wine is a serious Syrah that further establishes Kynsi's mastery of this variety, which is so hard to make into a complex wine. Drily tannic, it shows a fabulous range of flavors, among them blackberries, black cherries, chocolate-covered mints, licorice candy and plum jam, and even lighter, pastry notes of pecan sandy cookies. Might age for a while, but probably at its best now.
variety: Syrah
designation: Bien Nacido Vineyard ZB
