Paige 23 2003 Syrah
Santa Barbara County

The 2003 Paige 23 Syrah is a blend of 100% Syrah
from three esteemed vineyards in Santa Barbara County, our own JK Vineyards (50%), Westerly Vineyards (35%) and Carrega Vineyards (15%), make the blending components. The JK Vineyard Syrah supplies the violet/lavender notes in the bouquet accompanied by the blueberry and plum mid-palate strengths of the Carrega fruit. The Westerly Vineyard Syrah frames the blend with firm tannins and leathery structure to balance the wine across the palate for even balance and a long finish.
