2014 Jaffurs Syrah, USA, California, Santa Barbara County, Wine Review
This is the basic Jaffurs Syrah. It is one of the great values in warmer climate Syrah from California. It typically retails for around $30. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose is great with black raspberries, roasted meats, slight violets and black pepper. On the palate, there is a nice energy. Bright black raspberry fruit. Underlying roasted meats and earthiness. Great texture. This drinks great on release and continues to improve for a decade. Goes well with medium or heartier foods and especially Indian foods.
