The 2009 Grenache comes across as rather delicate and feminine. Dark red fruit, flowers and spices flow from this aromatic, mid-weight offering. The Grenache was made from parcels in Thompson Vineyard (77%) and Larner Vineyard (23%). The Larner fruit was fermented with the stems, which is one of the reasons why the Grenache shows so much aromatic lift. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2017. This is a very strong showing from Rhone specialist Craig Jaffurs. The Syrahs in particular are outstanding. In 2009 the Syrahs were picked between October 5 and November 4 illustrating just how long the harvest can stretch in Santa Barbara. The straight Santa Barbara County is an excellent starting point, and easily one of the best values readers will find in California Syrah. Tel. (805) 962-7003
