Grand Reserve

2007 Santa Barbara County Syrah

The Kendall-Jackson Grand Reserve Syrah from the 2007 vintage showcases the vibrant characteristics of Santa Barbara County. This red wine presents a full-bodied structure accompanied by a high acidity that adds remarkable brightness and liveliness to the palate. Its fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark berries and plums, complemented by hints of black pepper and toast. The tannins are notable, providing a firm backbone that enhances its ageability. As a dry wine, it is well-balanced, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

Central Coast
Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
