Bien Nacido Estate Syrah 2022 Review
This Syrah is from Santa Barbara's Bien Nacido vineyard, a renowned site that's also known to be the most single vineyard-designated site in the world. This Syrah continues to impress with a deep, meaty nose of black pepper and herbs. The slightest hint of oak is a welcome accent. The palate is medium-bodied with prominent tannins that slip into the wine's rich fruit core. A great American Syrah.
