Drake Whitcraft's low-tech, no-intervention style is beautifully suited to Santa Barbara Syrah, and this crunchy, northern Rhônish gem is only enhanced by Drake's insistence upon 100% whole cluster fermentation, no fining, no filtration and minimal sulfuring. Raspberry, currant, lavender: all the great tastes and aromas of Syrah are here...with only 12.8% alcohol!
