    Clos Solène 2015 Cuvée Jean Syrah (Santa Maria Valley)

    From Bien Nacido Vineyard's Z and X blocks, with 3% Viognier, this is a lovely and rich Syrah with lavish aromas of black currant, caramel, teriyaki and German chocolate cake. The palate is similarly thick and chewy, but with elegance and balance, showing black cherry, blueberry, white pepper and crushed rocks, leveled by a steadily rising acidity.
