2020 Dragonette Cellars Seven Syrah, Santa Ynez Valley
Dragonette Cellars


A beautiful nose of crushed blackberries and blueberries with a streak of vanilla announce this very rich Syrah. The mouth texture is full, “opening as if a creamy blueberry milkshake,”.
92 points, Wine Enthusiast (December 14, 2009): “ …a rich, savory Syrah, made Northern Rhône-style. Dense and full-bodied …”
91 points, Wine and Spirits (February 2010): “A bright core of fruit…depth and complexity …”
90 points, The Rhone Report (February 2010): “…a real beauty…rich texture and a clean, long finish…”
90 points, Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar (Nov/Dec. 2010): “ …Sexy aromas of black raspberry, boysenberry, potpourri and cola…drinking well right now.”
Just 400 cases were made. Spicy pizza, roasted vegetables and red meats with flavorful sauces are fine pairings with this bold Syrah. Drink now or hold up to 10 years.
This wine was recently featured in The California Wine Club's wine of the month club.

Their journey began while working together at a renowned wine shop in Los Angeles, where they cultivated a shared passion for wine. This passion led them to establish Dragonette Cellars in 2005, where they have since dedicated themselves to producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Santa Barbara County. Their collaborative approach and commitment to quality have positioned Dragonette Cellars as one of the most fascinating wineries in the Central Coast, with their best wines being described as truly world-class.

Central Coast
The Central Coast wine region of California spans from Monterey to Santa Barbara, offering a diverse and world-renowned viticultural landscape. Its Mediterranean climate, influenced by cool Pacific Ocean breezes, creates ideal conditions for growing a wide range of grapes. The region's varied soils, from sandy loam to limestone, contribute to the distinct character of its wines. Known for exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Central Coast also showcases innovative blends. Sub-regions like Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, and Monterey highlight unique microclimates, making the area a hub of quality and variety for wine enthusiasts.
