Piedrasassi Syrah Bien Nacido (Santa Maria Valley) 2021, Santa Barbara

Piedrasassi’s 2021 “Bien Nacido Vineyard” Syrah from Hacienda is a bold yet refined expression of California’s Central Coast terroir. This vintage showcases deep aromatics of black olive, smoked meat, and wild herbs, layered with blackberry and cracked pepper. The palate is structured and savory, with firm tannins and vibrant acidity offering balance and longevity. Winemaker Sashi Moorman’s minimal intervention approach allows the vineyard’s coastal influence and sandy soils to shine through in this elegant, age-worthy Syrah.
