2003 SYRAH WHITE HAWK
Santa Barbara County

Of the two syrahs that we are offering this spring, the White Hawk is the easiest to enjoy right now. It is dense, chocolate-y and rich, yet not heavy or ponderous in any way. This wine seems like a contradiction-it is so concentrated, yet light on its feet. It is certainly drinkable now, but will benefit enormously from aging for a few more years. Very sleek tannins in the finish are beautifully integrated.
