Departure Wine Company obtained this fruit from Foxen Canyon, Happy Canyon and Ballard Canyon in Santa Barbara County. A few extra tons of Syrah became available from one of Santa Barbara County’s most coveted Syrah vineyards. This vineyard is planted on a patch-work of steep hillsides just off Foxen Canyon Road (a growing area that’s home to the earliest plantings of Syrah in Santa Barbara County – circa 1978 – and that has established itself as a prime growing area ever since). This is a one-time only offering of this wine. Only 125 cases were produced!
Our tasting Notes:
Ruby red color, clear with a slight pink tinge. On the nose, we detected dark fruits and white pepper. Tasted chocolate, lots of it! Also had some blackberry influences. A long finish that shows the confluence of the cool vineyard character and an intensity of flavors.
