The 2018 Eaba is another wine from Jim that puts its foot firmly on the ripeness pedal and offers a blockbuster-like style of ripe black fruits, wood smoke, cured meats, and peppery goodness. Full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, it’s flawlessly balanced, has gorgeous tannins, and a great finish. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years or so. The 2018 is 59% Syrah, 23% Mourvedre, 15% Grenache, and the rest Viognier, aged 22 months in 50% new French oak.

Pridefully showcasing the best of Santa Ynez Valley, the Andrew Murray Roasted Slope Vyd Syrah 2020 is indeed a masterpiece. Andrew Murray, renowned for his prodigious talent in winemaking, seamlessly infuses the robust character of Syrah grapes grown in the perfect Mediterranean climate of California. Methodically handpicked, the grapes are then fermented in small lots, capturing the elegant essence of the fruit without compromising the depth of flavour.

This captivating red wine rivals even the best French Rhône varieties with its dark, smoky complexity and vibrant fruitiness, marked with rich, ripe, blackberry flavours—all underlined by a subtle hint of roasted meat. Its velvety tannins lend a sophisticated structure, and the finish is long and opulent. This exponent emulates the traditional French style, while keeping it uniquely 'Andrew Murray'. A bottle of Andrew Murray Roasted Slope Vyd Syrah 2020 is surely an experience catered for the discerning palate.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Isabelle is bright and effusive, with tons of aromatic presence and fine balance. Sweet red cherry fruit, orange peel, spice and dried herbs open first, followed by a host of perfumed floral notes that lead into the mid-palate and finish. The 2019 is silky and quite elegant, all it really needs is another year or two in bottle to come into its own.

The Paring GS 2018 is a glorious manifestation of refined winemaking artistry, meticulously crafted at the esteemed Ballard Canyon of Central California. A sumptuous blend of Grenache and Syrah, known worldwide for their affinity, this GSM blend is an epitome of sophistication.

The 2014 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) is a super-polished appellation-level Chardonnay. Pear, white flowers and mint give the 2014 its brightness and aromatic lift. This is an especially appealing, mid-weight Chardonnay built on freshness. I would prefer to drink the 2014 over the next few years. The key vineyard sites are Bien Nacido, Dierberg, La Rinconada, Zotovich and Sanford & Benedict, with an increasing reliance on Santa Maria fruit.
