Notes from the Winemaker:
This wine represents about half of the wine we made in 2009. It is a blend of 98% syrah, 1% tempranillo and 1% mourvedre; it is 70% cool climate fruit (45% Santa Barbara County, 25% Edna Valley) and 30% warm climate Paso Robles; the vineyards are French Camp (Paso Robles) 30%, Sawyer Lindquist (Edna Valley) 25%, Bien Nacido (Santa Maria Valley) 24%, Chabot (Santa Barbara County) 18%, Ibarra-Young (Santa Ynez Valley) 2.5% and Alisos (Santa Barbara County) 0.5%. This is a classic Central Coast syrah, combining the spice and acidity of the cool climate grapes with the forward fruit of the warm climate grapes. It has the balance to be age worthy...in fact we just received an email the other day from a customer telling us how much they enjoyed a bottle of our 1989 Syrah-Central Coast! Best to drink it though and save your cellar space for our single vineyard syrahs.

Ratings & Reviews

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Bright ruby. Tightly wound, focused aromas of red- and blackcurrant and licorice, with a hint of black olive. Firm, slightly ungiving dark fruit flavors are lifted by tangy acidity and gain sweetness with air. Good material here but this is a tough read right now. Finishes brisk and with good grip repeating the olive note." - Josh Raynolds (Nov/Dec '10)

Food & Wine Magazine's American Wine Awards '05, '06, '07, '08: Best Syrah for Under $20 - Qupe Central Coast Syrah
About the 2006: "The 2006 vintage may be winemaker Bob Lindquist’s best Central Coast Syrah yet, with a sophisticated integration of fruit and black pepper that would be envied by many producers of California Syrahs costing twice as much."
