Tasting Notes
2016 Zotovich Syrah - 94 points ~ Jeb Dunnuck - For 2016 our Syrah from Zotovich Vineyard falls right in line with what we think good cold climate Syrah should be. Dark as can be with a heady aroma of dark fruits and rich earthy spice. From the moment we see this fruit begin to develop in the vineyard until it is fermented and pressed off we enjoy a sense of excitement over this wine. This is one of our favorite wines to make and the anticipation of what it will become as it goes through the various stages of winemaking is always fun to experience. Grown in the deep sandy soils of Zotovich Vineyard where it is meticulously cared for and ripens slowly in the cool, foggy Sta. Rita air, we think you will share in some of that excitement the moment you pour some in a glass.
About Crawford Family Wines
Mark and Wendy Horvath, long time Santa Barbara County wine industry people, have set out to create a very small, highly focused, family run winery where they could take the best fruit the county has to offer and gently coax it into bottle. Grapes from the most esteemed local vineyards, Babcock, Bentrock, Radian, Rita?s Crown and Zotovich currently grace the wines. Crawford Family Wines embraces the "garagiste" style of winemaking by producing tiny lots of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that provide a glimpse into the unique Sta. Rita Hills vineyards they come from.
Striving for authenticity in varietal character and a sense of place, they employ a minimalist approach to winemaking and let the fruit do the talking. Now, with a small Rhone program underway from the Ballard Canyon appellation, the winery is becoming more complete and a true showcase for these meticulously farmed vineyards.
