What Are You Drinking?

Craig Jaffurs has only been around about three years now, but I had his new release (1995 Jaffurs Wine Cellars Syrah [Santa Barbara County]) a couple of weeks ago, and it was just fabulous. The nose was gorgeous, there was big bold fruit in front and a real round velvety smoothness in the mouth. The finish was quite clean with a lingering aftertaste of slightly smoky fruit.
