Displaying higher acidity, the 2005 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard will benefit from 1-2 more years of bottle age. This vineyard’s earthy/graphite character is obvious as is a more firm, muscular structure. This is a dense purple-colored effort with beautiful freshness (a characteristic of all these Jaffurs wines), full body, and a dense, powerful, but backward personality. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020+.
Over the last few vintages, Greg Jaffurs has emerged as one of Santa Barbara’s finest, most consistent winemakers, and his wines continue to go from strength to strength.
