Winemaker Tasting Notes:
Robert Craig's 2003 Central Coast Syrah showcases fruit from the cool Los Olivos vineyards near Santa Barbara, blended with warmerclimate Syrah of Paso Robles to the north. The Los Olivos terroir imparts the elegance of a northern Rhône, while Paso Robles contributes bright, juicy berry flavors.
An exotic perfume of wild berry, sandalwood and spice on the nose. Complex and mouth-filling dark plum and blueberry linger on the palate with underlying black pepper, carmel and sweet spice. The finish is long and full of deep, dark fruit and dusty cocoa. The fusion of two premier Syrah regions delivers a supple, fragrant wine bursting with fruit, finely textured tannins and a distinctive varietal character.
Vineyard Notes:
The hillside vineyard source overlooking Santa Ynez Valley is characterized by a high concentration of sand and limestone, while the ancient riverbed vineyard site in Paso Robles contains rocky, alluvial soils. Both vineyards possess excellent drainage properties that promote low yields and intense fruit flavors.
