This cool weather Syrah from Santa Barbara's 42 acre Thompson Vineyard is a joy to drink. Dark fruit, smoke, and black pepper are accentuated by searing acidity, wonderfully firm tannins, and strong mineral notes. Focused, pure, and beautifully structured, with well-integrated oak, this is wine is exemplary of what we love so much about the new breed of California winemakers. Aged for 24 months in 25% new French Oak. Only 75 cases produced.
Eric Carucci has a knack for finding exceptional vineyards and showcasing their unique character. Transparency, nuance and soulfulness are captured in every bottle, but he admits that it is impossible to remove his personality from the wines. Each bottle is an interpretation of a specific site, a showcase of all the glorious imperfections a single vineyard has to offer. The small-lot Rhone varietals Carucci Wines produces are driven by terroir and highlighted by impeccable structure.
