title: Cielo 2012 Malibu Estate Syrah (Saddle Rock-Malibu)
description: Dried berry, leather, cola, and herb notes show on the nose of this bottling from the mountains between the Conejo Valley and Malibu Coast. The flavors are savory at first—all crushed anise and mint—but grow fruitier as it opens, suggesting dark strawberry, blueberry, vanilla and clove. Quite quaffable.
variety: Syrah
