Pacific Oasis Syrah 2005

13.9% Pacific Oasis Winery, Santa Barbara County, CA
(5% Viogneir), Daniel Gehrs, winemaker.
Fruit from Santa Ynez (50%), Los Alamos (50%), Noir and Estrella Clones

Nice nose with the characteristic inky Syrah element. Some tart fruits on the nose as well. Supple-soft mouth moving to tart prickle on the finish. Good fruit with the ink and licorice. Light linger. Not as deeply flavored as say Cline, but a decent Syrah with nice tart snap and a good almost savory touch.
