2013 Rhys Syrah Horseshoe Vineyard - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Santa Cruz Mountains (12/17/2015)
Embryonic and totally coiled in on itself, this is a white dwarf star of cool climate Syrah. All the markers are there, but introverted and facing away, like a temperamental cat. Given time it will eventually warm up and purr, but on its own terms and in its own time.
