"Brought up in larger barrels and a blend of 53% Syrah, 36% Grenache and 11% Mourvèdre, the 2014 Luna Matta comes all from Paso Robles and reveals an opaque purple/black color. Cracked pepper, blackberry fruits, scorcher earth/charcoal and hint of sappy herbs all emerge from this full-bodied, concentrated Syrah that shines in the more forward, charming style of the vintage. It's good now, but has enough tannin to warrant a year or more in bottle."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
