Wine Jaffurus Wine Cellars - 1999 Santa Barbara County Syrah.
The 1999 Santa Barbara County Syrah is big and extracted. It combines
Thompson Vineyard, Stolpman Family Vineyard, French Camp Vineyard, and Bien
Nacido Vineyard fruit. We have added a little complexity by blending in
a little Stolpman Vineyard Viognier (5%). The Thompson Syrah is the deep,
fruity component. The Bien Nacido Syrah is deep and spicey, almost rough
in texture. The Stolpman Syrah is elegant, and has classic flavors of coffee
and blueberries. The French Camp adds a scent of clover and flavors of burnt
caramel.
Food Pairing: This is a powerfully flavored wine
which works well with similarly flavorful food. Try dark
sauces, even some with dark fruit. Makes a great reduction
sauce. Try spiced or BBQ pork, lamb, or beef. Seared,
spiced Ahi is a favorite, as is smoked salmon.
Half this wine was aged in new oak barrels (French
and American) and half was aged in one-year oak barrels.
