What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

The '05 is delightful, the syrahs are really done well in Santa Ynez and Brander made a great easy drinking wine with ripe fruit flavors and a spiciness that makes it fun but not overwhelming .
