Samsara 2018 Zotovich Vineyards Syrah (Sta. Rita Hills)
Description
WINEMAKER NOTES
This classic, cool-climate Syrah bursts with black pepper, menthol, spice, cured meat, green olive, and black currant aromatics. These elements are mirrored on the palate, with great balance, full mid-palate, vibrant red and blackberries, and integrated tannin, fruit, and acid.
2018 VINTAGE
The 2018 vintage is the stuff dreams are made of. The most ‘classic’ Santa Barbara County vintage of the decade with a cool, long growing season. A very ‘civilized’ harvest with no dramatic heat events or adverse weather. We were finally out of the half-decade drought thanks to the heavy rainfall in 2017, and vineyards were healthy and happy. Yields were moderate with some sites being slightly below average. The slightly low yields combined with extra ‘hang-time’ in 2018 resulted in super balanced and physiologically ripe fruit.
ZOTOVICH VINEYARD
An optimal growing site for Syrah and other varieties, Zotovich Vineyard is comprised of 35 acres in the northern part of the Sta. Rita Hills between Buellton and Lompoc. The vineyard is made up of mostly diatomaceous earth and sandy loam soils that create intense, mineral-driven wines.
