95+ pts                                                                                          A fantastic new release from one of our favorite boutique producers in Santa Barbara. Limited.95 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Black fruits, smoked meats, chocolate, pepper, and liquid violet notes all emerge from the Jaffurs 2019 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard, a richer, medium to full-bodied, expansive, yet still focused, elegant Syrah that has tons to love. Based on 99% Syrah and 1% Viognier that was 54% destemmed and co-fermented, aged 22 months in 27% new French oak, it will benefit from a year in bottle and drink brilliantly for a decade."94 Points Vinous: "The Jaffurs 2019 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard is powerful and elegant at the same time. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and chocolate give the 2019 notable depth and intensity. The 54% whole clusters are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. This powerhouse Syrah is beautifully done."Jaffurs Wine Cellars is de
