Caruso 2022 Syrah – Santa Barbara County
Certified Organic • Minimal Intervention • 96 Points – Jonathan Cristaldi

Bold, elegant, and remarkably expressive, the Caruso 2021 Santa Barbara County Syrah is a masterclass in cool-climate Syrah from the prestigious Ballard Canyon AVA. Sourced exclusively from the CCOF Certified Organic Kimsey Vineyard, this small-lot wine is crafted with care, integrity, and a deep respect for the land.

For anyone with the last name Caruso, this wine isn't just delicious—it's personal. Whether you're gifting a namesake bottle or indulging in something meaningful, the Caruso label speaks to identity, legacy, and taste.

Fermented with 50% whole clusters and co-fermented with 3% Viognier (à la Côte-Rôtie), then aged for 15 months in neutral French oak, this wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its purity and sense of place. It’s a minimal-intervention Syrah with elegance, structure, and an unmistakable Santa Barbara soul.


🍇 Tasting Notes

Vibrant aromatics of black cherry, blackberry, and plum meet delicate floral layers of rose petal, violet, and rhubarb. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with refined, velvety tannins and a core of dark fruit, cherry pit, and floral spice, leading into a long, savory finish with hints of salted dark chocolate and minerality.

This Syrah hits the sweet spot between richness and restraint—ideal for those who appreciate finesse over flash.
