2021 Syrah, Santa Barbara County

Thursday, September 28th, 2023

This a deeply colored Syrah that demands your attention. 2021 was an outstanding, balanced vintage, with great weather during the growing season. Sourced from a few local vineyards, the wine is mostly Syrah with just a touch of Grenache thrown in. The various lots were fermented separately in small open top fermenters with manual punch downs twice daily. Aging was done in mostly neutral French oak barrels for about 12 months before bottling. The wine has gobs of crushed berry fruit with a distinct spice character. The acid is bright but will soften with time. Enjoy with barbecued ribs and oak grilled pork chops. $45.00

 

2021 Tempranillo Santa Barbara County

Thursday, September 28th, 2023

This isn’t the first Bedford Tempranillo, but it is certainly the best. Unfortunately it is a small production. Though the most famous red in Spain, the varietal is just catching on in this country.  The 2021 Tempranillo is an elegant expression of the grape with medium body, and a pretty purple color with touches of magenta. Aromas of sour cherries with brambly wood notes are joined by layers of herbs and cedar overlayed with hints of baking spices that come together on a long, complex finish. The wine was aged in new and one-year old French puncheons for 16 months. The is a wine to lay down for five to 10 years to see it full expression. $55.00

2020 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County

Thursday, September 28th, 2023

This is creamy, silky Chardonnay with flavors of apple, citrus, and a touch of nutmeg and vanilla from the oak. The fruit was sourced from local vineyards including Los Alamos. The grapes were carefully handpicked and sorted in the vineyard. After harvesting, the grapes are whole cluster pressed, and juice is quickly settled and chilled to begin barrel fermentation. Malo-lactic fermentation was completed and the wine aged in somewhat neutral French oak barrels for about 12 months. It is a food friendly Chardonnay that is refined and subtle. $45.00
