Barbieri 2014 Romanvs Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
Big blackberry and pungent black-currant aromas meet with gooey fudge, black licorice and lilac on the large and lovely nose of this bottling, which is made with 5% Viognier. It's thick and juicy on the sip, with tons of anise, dill, baked blackberry, cassis and a well-integrated minty character. Matt Kettmann
