an exciting new project named after the cult that once lived in the guadalupe dunes at the end of the santa maria river, this cool-climate syrah from a vineyard just behind pismo beach shows rosemary, fennel frond, white pepper, tar and soy on the nose. the sip starts with a flash of blackberry syrup before the savory hints of charred beef and peppercorns arise. still a young wine, this will improve with time.
