Peake Ranch 2015 John Sebastiano Vineyard Syrah (Sta. Rita Hills)
The attention-grabbing nose of this dark and brooding bottling shows plenty of ethereal aromas of hickory smoke, violet oil, cola, pepper dust, teriyaki and burnt bacon, all surrounded by the essence of purple fruit. The sip is super savory with loads of crushed pepper, roasted boar, duck fat and charred beef, with lilac on the finish. Matt Kettmann
