Coastal syrahs are often lush and ripe to a somewhat excessive degree. However, there's a new group of examples that go the other way, like this syrah from the granitic slopes of the Leyda Valley, which tend to offer a much fresher, less concentrated, less exuberant face of the variety. The tannins are fine and sharp, the acidity speaks of the fresh influence of the sea, and the fruit is red and crisp.
