2022 Âmevive Wine "Ibarra-Young Vineyard" Syrah Estate, Los Olivos District, Santa Barbara, California, USAABOUT THIS WINE The Syrah is part of the original planting at Ibarra Young Vineyard, planted in 1971. It is own rooted, its been farmed organically since 1993, and its possibly my favorite block. Can I pick favorites?? This Syrah block is located on a sandy loam slope in the most fertile section of the vineyard. These vines produce tight and dense clusters averaging the size of your palm. When they are ripe, the clusters dainty golden stems pop off
