• Three Saints Santa Ynez Valley Syrah -- "Complex, with touches of black and bell pepper. Full-bodied and savory, with a mix of dried berry, gaining earth and mineral notes and ending with a crisp, dry finish. 665 Cases made." -Wine Enthusiast "Chocolate, smoked game, gunpowder and coffee bean tones leap from the glass. On the palate, the chocolate note persists with huge blackberry fruit and an exciting blueberry nuance. Texturally, the wine is as soft and as enveloping as can be, with supple tannins that caress the palate and fresh acid lending to the vibrancy of the wine. Our 2008 Three Saints syrah is a supple, delicious wine for immediate enjoyment with hearty winter stews." -Winemaker's Notes
