title: Bonny Doon 2011 Bien Nacido X Block Syrah (Santa Maria Valley)
description: Randall Grahm notes that this is one of his best Syrahs from this historic vineyard, and it's hard to disagree. Aromas of gravel, just-crushed peppercorns and blueberries lead into a lighter, airy, mineral-driven palate of black rocks, black pepper and boysenberry fruit. It's one of the better cool-climate Syrahs around right now.
variety: Syrah
designation: Bien Nacido X Block
