SAMSARA Syrah/Grenache SBC 2020

Winemaker Notes: This crowd-pleasing wine hails from Zotovich and Jorian Hill Vineyards. Although the fruit notes are dense and expressive on the nose and palate, this wine has a racy acidity that creates a clean finish making your mouth water for another sip.

Press Reviews

92ROBERT PARKER’S WINE ADVOCATE

The 2020 Syrah/Grenache is…vinified with 75% whole clusters and matured in barrel for around 17 months. It has layered scents of red cherry, cranberry, powdered sugar, old leather, dried herbs and earth. The medium-bodied palate has a delicately styled core of earthy fruit supported by chalky tannins and bright sparks of acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish.

94WINE ADVOCATE

This county cuve…is exuberant on the nose with peppered pomegranate, thyme and crumpled bay aromas. The palate is fresh and punchy, but well structured through the finish, showcasing snappy red fruit, fennel pollen and more thyme flavors.
