A much bigger wine than it's Santa Ynez counterpart. Loaded with black fruit character and a smoky meaty tone that is so enticing in Syrah. Those flavors, I believe are part of the true varietal character of Syrah. Hints of white pepper and spice add layers of complexity and interest. In the mouth it is very structural, rich and ripe; a big wine that will further improve with bottle age. Had this wine recently at a restaurant decanted, and it was delicious. Why "La Sirena"? The name "La Sirena" means "the Mermaid "in Spanish and Italian. I chose it because I was looking for something fun and magical (like wine) and because I love to scuba dive as well as make wine. Our first vintage of La Sirena was 1994 and we made only a Sangiovese that year. The first Cabernet was made in 1996 and we no longer made the Sangiovese after the 1999 vintage due to a vineyard change. There are currently two wines made under this label; Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Production is always small, focusing on fine wines, the best that can be made. ~Heidi Peterson Barrett Winemaker, La Sirena Wines <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/calwine" TITLE="California Wine Wines">California Wine Wines</A> <A HREF="http://www.calwine.com">California Wine</A> California Wine Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart software">shopping cart software</A>
