Big Basin Vineyards: Syrah With a Wild Side
If you like your wines bold and a little untamed, Big Basin Vineyards should be on your radar. Their syrah, sourced from some of the most rugged terrain in the Santa Cruz Mountains, is a powerhouse—with dark fruit, smoky undertones and a spicy kick that makes it a perfect pairing for barbecue or a cozy night by the fire. Winemaker Bradley Brown has a knack for capturing the wild essence of the region in every bottle, making Big Basin a must-try for syrah lovers.
