Tried this Fri night w/ Susan:
1. EXPostFacto Syrah SantaBarbaraCnty (14.5%) Lompoc 2016: Very dark color; strong SBC/blackberry/Syrah/rather peppery some toasty/oak bit earthy rather spicy quite attractive nose; fairly tart rather hard/tannic strong blackberry/Syrah/spicy/some peppery fairly strong toasty/oak flavor w/ rather hard/severe tannins; very long strong/spicy/blackberry/Syrah/some black pepper fairly toasty/oak slight earthy rather sructured finish w/ ample hard/chewey tannins; a fairly straight forward SBC Syrah but rather severe/hard on the palate; lacks charm & richness but may develop into something interesting; would much prefer the regular Jaffurs SBC Syrah at a cheaper price. $35.00 (AV)

A wee BloddyPulpit:
1. EXPostFacto is GregBrewers's attempt to escape his Burgundy roots and venture into the Syrah field. I was a bit underwhelmed given the winemaker's pedigree.
