2021 Moretti Syrah, San Ysidro Vineyard
Steve Clifton's Syrah has a pronounced spicy berry bouquet with hints of bacon that draw you into a palate packed with blackberries, meat, cocoa and vivacious acidity. It is an alluring wine of purity and elegance. It is rich but it stays light on its feet, making it an ideal match with dishes like sausages, cheeses, pork ribs, and duck.
Moretti is dedicated to producing small-lot, well-balanced, food-friendly wines in a European tradition - meant to be paired with food. Our background and wine experience comes from the old world, and we strive to produce similarly styled wines using excellent Santa Barbara County grapes. We are lucky enough to have two of the best winemakers in our AVA, Paul Lato and Steve Clifton, make our Spring and Fall releases, respectively, providing our customers with the chance to taste 'Cru' productions at 'Village' prices. Just 400 cases produced!
