Barbieri 2013 Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
A very awesome array of burnt bacon, dried violets, chipped asphalt and tart elderberry show on the nose of this bottling from a remote vineyard north of the Santa Maria Valley. A strong pepper spice starts the sip, followed by charred berries and black currants, tons of purple flowers and a persistent acidity. Matt Kettmann
