Last Syrah represents their California spin on a French classic. The noble red grape of France's Rhone Valley is reinterpreted in the rocky spoils and coastal climate of California's premiere Paso Robles growing region. The result is a wine that reveals intense dark berry flavors, an expansive mid-palate and a tannic structure that allows Last Syrah to...well, last.

Rating
"Impressive for its display of ripe, rich plum, black cherry and blackberry fruit. It's sharply focused, supported by firm, ripe tannins, revealing its concentration and depth of flavor."-Wine Buyer 90 Points

Technical notes
Alcohol: 13%

Other text
The area benefits from the largest swing between high daytime and low nighttime temperatures of any region in California as a result of the cool marine air that flows east through the Templeton Gap and south along the Salinas River Valley from the Monterey Bay. The region’s summer is characterized by warm, clear days, generally unencumbered by clouds, fog or severe winds. Daytime high temperatures in the summer typically fall between 85 and 105 degrees Fahrenheit, but nighttime low temperatures usually can drop by 40 to 50 degrees, cooled by a marine layer that moves over the region in the mid to late afternoon. This diurnal fluctuation is considered a key by winemakers and wine grape growers to attain the intense varietal character displayed in wine grapes from the area.

Due to cool nights, warm days, and typically late rains, Paso Robles vines tend to have a longer growing season and grapes have more hang time compared to other wine regions, resulting in fully mature fruit whose acid chemistry is kept in balance through the area's overnight cooling.

Review:
Tasted one... and then bought a case. An absolute steal at $11 a bottle. Blackberry, chocolate and toast up front, with nicely integrated tannins and remarkable structure. If you like syrahs in the Rhone style, this one is a must.
