Allan Hancock College's vineyard is in the city of Santa Maria, and much closer to the coast than most of the Santa Maria Valley appellation. That gives this Syrah extreme cool-climate character, from tar, peppercorn, roasted lamb and black-currant paste on the nose to a tense palate loaded with cracked pepper, rosemary and game. Fresh acidity provides a juicy quality too.
