Ex Post Facto
Santa Barbara County Syrah
2022
Central Coast
750ml
Description
Experience the deviant side of Syrah. Inspired by Winemaker Greg Brewer's mom who was the Senior District Attorney of Ventura County, California, this red wine is intense with a ton of character. Ex Post Facto literally translates to "After the Fact" referring to a law that makes illegal an act that was legal when it was first committed. This Santa Barbara County Syrah is raised in the coldest of climates, 100% whole cluster fermented for 60 days before being aged in the oldest barrels in the winery to capture the intense white pepper, floral aromas, and weight of the wine.

Notes of crushed peppercorn, lilac, black cherry and raspberry. This rich red wine is firm, dry, and persistent.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
The 2022 Syrah is all from Perilune, done with 100% stems. Aromatic and gracious, the 2022 is a charmer. This is an especially floral, delicate Syrah, with lovely aromatics and a distinctly red-toned fruit profiles as opposed to the darker leanings of past releases, which reflects the shift to all Perilune fruit.
