Jaffurs 2012 Larner Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
Cellar Selection
This single-vineyard bottling by the downtown Santa Barbara-based winery boasts a beautifully dark nose of black cherries, white pepper and elegant brown to black spices. Flavors are dominated by blackberries that rise to a grippy, mouthwatering finish. The tannins are still strong, so expect this to last for years. Drink 2017–2024. Matt Kettmann
