Ampelos Cellars Sta. Hills Syrah Gamma
The best black tie BBQ you have ever been too. Rustic yet refined. Prada meets Lucchese and they dance into the night as notes of Turkish tobacco, sweet licorice and Madagascar vanilla permeate the air. Deep hues and luscious layers of currants, blueberries, dark chocolate, cuban cigars, and a hint of mint are the opulent guests of the confident cowboy who is always calm in a room full of strangers. Well behaved guest never make history... enjoy the party!
