As I wrote in my last post, I adore how Syrah tastes so different with each terroir and winemaker. Joe Davis,who makess exquisite Pinot Noir in Santa Maria CA, also tackles Syrah and Chardonnay. His style is Burgundian, and he is a cool guy. This is the first time I have had a Syrah of his and it is smashing.
From the Santa Ynez Valley - just like the Drew - but so different. Much lighter in color, and way more barnyard on the nose with notes of dried red fruit and cedar. Joe compares this wine to the Charolais cattle, the workhorse of the French countryside - an everyday table wine. One should be so lucky to drink this everyday! Super quaffable, with charred oaky notes and muted blackberry.
