Tasting notes
The 2022 Syrah Cinematique Larner Vineyard is a step up over the Bien Nacido and offers more depth, richness, and length. Coming from a great site in the Ballard Canyon region of Santa Barbara County, its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by an awesome nose of black raspberries, scorched earth, peppery herbs, and flowers. With medium to full-bodied richness on the palate, it has a supple, elegant mouthfeel, soft, velvety tannins, terrific overall balance, and a great finish. Readers looking for a quintessential 2022 Syrah should look no further. There's no need to delay gratification, but this will continue drinking beautifully for another decade.

The 2022 Syrah Larner Vineyard Cinématique is a bold wine that captures all the personality of this Ballard Canyon site. Black cherry, plum, lavender, chocolate, spice and dried herbs infuse the 2022 with tons of character. The long, sustained finish is a thing of beauty. This is a fabulous interpretation of Larner.
