NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Jaffurs Thompson Vineyard Syrah offers an intense nose of dark berries, licorice, and pepper with a hint of smoked meat.On the palate, it has a medium body with excellent acidity, a silky texture, and flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, and white pepper. The finish is long and complex, with a lingering hint of spice. Enjoy this remarkable Syrah now or cellar for a few years for even more complexity.

ORIGINS

Winery: Jaffurs

Region: Central Coast California

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.
