WTN: Fixing a Holus

by David M. Bueker » Fri May 13, 2022 7:16 pm

  • 2019 Black Sheep Finds Syrah Holus Bolus - USA, California, Central Coast, Sta. Rita Hills (5/13/2022)
    Explosive from the pop and pour. Deep black fruit, campfire, warm leather - it’s very Syrah. The density of fruit identifies it as Californian, but it never tips to the goopy or flat. The acids and tannins support and frame, creating balance. All that wine geek stuff aside, it’s just so damned delicious. Every sip makes me want another one. Whoops! All gone.

Sounds great. Interesting winery name; not one I've heard of before.

So just looked at some of their stuff. Fun wine names. And I can get this syrah and a '17 on wine.com. God I don't need any more wine; but maybe....

Morgan Twain Peterson and Chris Cottrell (aka the Bedrock guys) turned me on to these. They have an excellent podcast with the husband and wife who are the winery. Listen in and then decide.
