Samsara Syrah Zotovich Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills 2018 750 ML

The 2018 Samsara Zotovich Vineyard Syrah is a red wine from Santa Barbara County, California. It has a cool-climate expression with aromas of rosemary, dark clove, dried ginger, pine oil, and incense. It also has notes of black fruit. n The Syrah from the Zotovich Vineyard has bright acidity, relatively low sugar levels, and is inspired by Northern Rhone. Intense aromas of rosemary, dark clove, dried ginger, pine oil and incense make for a very heady cool-climate expression on the nose of this bottling. It’s bright and herby on the palate, where tea-leaf and Sichuan peppercorn flavors buzz through elderberry fruit.n n Producer Informationn SAMsARA produces limited releases of Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Grenache from carefully selected micro-sites within Sta. Rita Hill’s most distinctive vineyards. The resulting wines are an interpretation of the tenuous balance between the power of natural elements beyond our control and the human desire to reach perfection. New England natives, Dave and Joan Szkutak, share a fundamental love of travel and all things enological. They help guide SAMsARA as vintners and work closely with winemaker Matt Brady, supporting his creative decisions in both the vineyard and the cellar.
