Outward Wines Santa Ynez Valley Syrah 2023 Review
Outward Wines is a partnership between Natalie Siddique and Ryan Pace. They have wine-traveled extensively and bring that inspiration to the wines they make. The pair sources sustainable, organic, and biodynamic grapes from across California's Central Coast. This Syrah from the Santa Ynez Valley shows punchy dark fruit with some savory herbs. The wine comes alive on the palate with deep peppery notes and a smoky campfire vibe. The finish is everything you want in a Syrah.
