Piedrasassi Rim Rock Syrah 2012
An under-the-radar cult Syrah from Santa Barbara - limited. 93 Points Robert Parker: "Even better, the 2012 Syrah Rim Rock Vineyard comes from a small 3-acre plot and was fermented with 100% whole clusters. It offers up thrilling notes of black raspberry, rose petal, pepper and distinct saltiness to go with a medium-bodied, elegant and finesse-driven palate feel. While it has bright acidity, it also has solid concentration and a seamless texture. It too should drink nicely for 6-8 years." Sashi Moorman is best known for the wines he makes at Stolpman and Evening Land, but the wines from his own Piedrasassi label are just as impressive. I also tasted a few older wines, including the 2003 Syrah, which remains an infant and attests to the ageworthiness of Syrah from selected sites in Santa Barbara County. "

Sour cherries, frozen Welch's Framboise, berry pie, pie crust, thyme, sage, this wine evolved and morphed very quickly, very complex. The wild yeast comes through on the nose. Light alcohol and light body, but still very well extracted and viscous for under 14%.
