The 2018 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard X-Block boasts stunning aromatic intensity and superb balance. Rose petal, sage, lavender, white pepper, mint and savory herbs scream with Syrah character. The 2018 was fermented in several lots, and whole cluster inclusion ranged from 40% to 100%. What comes through most is an exquisite expression of Syrah from one of the most pedigreed sites in Santa Barbara, and all of California for that matter. The wine's depth belies its 12.5% alcohol.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
JUST WOW! Bedrock is one of the hottest brands we sell and the Bien Nacido Syrah from the vaunted X-Block of Bien Nacido is a super stunner. We've never even got an allocation of this wine, but strange times and restaurant closers have created a unique environment for unprecedented access to true rarities normally reserved for the top restaurants in the country.
