Star Lane Vineyard

2007 Santa Barbara County Syrah

The Consilience Star Lane Vineyard Syrah from the 2007 vintage is a mesmerizing expression of the Santa Barbara County terroir. This red wine showcases a full-bodied profile with impressive depth and richness, perfectly complemented by high acidity that provides a refreshing lift. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark fruit flavors, including blackberry and plum, harmoniously intertwined with subtle hints of spice and earthiness. Tannins are notable yet refined, lending structure and longevity to the wine. As an added bonus, this Syrah is completely dry, allowing the complex flavors to shine without any interference. This beautifully crafted wine is a wonderful testament to the potential of the region and an exquisite choice for any wine enthusiast.

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.
