Barrel 27 Central Coast Syrah
Delicious blackberry and loam… smooth and dense in the mouth with a hint of loamy mineral and a full, succulent finish. A project from the team of Russell From (Herman Story Wines) and McPrice Myers - Two young, hotshot Central Coast winemakers who are getting a lot of underground buzz these days.

Barrel 27 Head Honcho Syrah

Copain 2006 Syrah Thompson Vineyard Santa Barbara

Absolutely stunning!  Blackberry, black olive, thyme, and fresh cracked black pepper. This has tremendous power and concentration but is so harmonious, you almost don’t notice it at first.  Wells Guthrie continues his amazing track record with this vineyard  There were just 7 cases allocated for all of Southern California and we secured one of them – this won’t last long!

Erna Schein Homage to Ed Oliveira Syrah

This is an impeccably crafted Syrah from a cooler vineyard site of Alder Springs in Mendocino County. Black-purple in color, this 100% Syrah offers aromas of pretty fruit tree blossoms, roasted meats, and loam. This wine offers deep and concentrated flavors.  Fresh red raspberry and cherry fruits as well as subtle notes of marmalade, stone fruit, graphite, stone, and smoke.  This youthful wine is drinking well now but is certainly age-worthy.  Limited.  Only 484 cases.

Kenneth Crawford Purisima Mt. Syrah 2005

Dense and smooth with layered complexity, black berry, plum, sage, winter spice and a meaty, minerally streak at the back end.

Delicious expression of pure, driven Syrah from one of California’s best sites for Syrah -- Purisima Mountain vineyard in Santa Ynez Valley’s  Ballard Canyon, where limestone under loamy clay gives expressive, deep Syrah.

Miller Wine Works Brookside Vineyard  Napa Syrah

Brookside Vineyard is a small, seven-acre ranch located between the Carneros and Mt. Veeder.  This handcrafted Syrah is fleshy and creamy with boysenberry, black raspberry, dark plum and mineral notes.  Full-bodied without being a “monster”, this is structured to take on weight, and will age extremely well.  Delicious as a youthful wine and food friendly.

Owen Roe 2005 Ex Umbris Syrah, Washington

Bruce Morford’s Slide Mountain Vineyard in western Yakima Valley gives tremendous richness, while smoky Lewis Vineyard in The Dalles gives bright acidity and the Elerding in Alderdale has provided unctuous fruit. 
A fabulously aromatic and full-bodied Syrah! A Julian favorite three vintages in a row now.
