Waxwing 2018 Lester Family Vineyard Syrah (Santa Cruz Mountains)
The cooler climate of this vineyard presents dynamic aromas of peppercorn, bay leaf and charcoal alongside fresh plum and violet on the nose of this bottling. The high-acid palate falls in line accordingly, offering peppery spices against the tightly woven black-raspberry core. Matt Kettmann
