NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Caliza Syrah is a deeply complex and tantalizing blend of blackberry, plum and blueberry aromas that mingle with hints of tobacco and vanilla.On the palate, it is lush and full-bodied, with layers of dark fruit, clove and a touch of pepper. The pronounced tannins are ripe and smooth, leading to a long finish with a hint of licorice. Enjoy this exquisite Syrah now or cellar for up to ten years.
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
