2010 Thompson Vineyard Syrah

The Thompson Vineyard, established in 1990, has long been a Santa Barbara County favorite for Syrah. 2010 marks our 13th vintage of Thompson Vineyard Syrah, and it stands out as a very complex, very sophisticated offering. As usual with Thompson, yields were kept naturally low in the vineyard due to Thompson’s cool nights, great drainage and windy conditions. As is also usual with Thompson, this wine strikes a beautiful balance between acidity, fruit and tannins. This ruby red wine offers up notes of blackberries and cassis along with a pure core of minerality and and elegant silky mouthfeel that ends in a long and powerful finish. We like this Syrah with duck or turkey as well as lamb and meat dishes. We suggest aging this Thompson for up to 10 or 12 years.
