2020 Terre et Sang Passenger Syrah | Santa Barbara County, California 750ml

Passenger is our story of each vintage. It is a blend formed through the blind tasting and blending of countless combinations of the various components of the vintage until, ultimately, one blend stands above the rest. As such, it is a representation of us, through and through, as we assembled this wine and made the vintage. Ultimately, it represents our story of setting forth on a journey where you must accept that you can only control so much and the rest is reaction and interaction with the forces and powers around you. We are ultimately, Passengers.
The 2020 Passenger is dark, highly textural and yet light on its feet. Composed of 30% Peake Ranch Syrah, 60% Kimsey Vineyard Syrah and 10% Bien Nacido Grenache. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. 115 cases produced. | Duncan and Dalita Harmon for Terre et Sang

Ripe black fruits, cracked pepper, and spice, as well as some iron and salty notes emerge from the 2020 Syrah Passenger, a deep purple-hued Syrah that shows the house's silky, elegant, balanced style beautifully. It's another thrilling wine in the lineup that brings incredible intensity while staying light on its fee and balanced. | 96 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
