Winemaker's select. Bridlewood Estate Winery sits in the heart of Santa Barbara County's wine country in Santa Ynez Valley. Formerly an Arabian horse farm, Bridlewood is dedicated to wines sourced from acclaimed vineyards throughout California's sun-drenched Central Coast. Inspired by Bridlewood's mission-style winery, this intense syrah displays aromas of dark cherries, plums and violets that give way to flavors of blackberry, sweet brown spice and a hint of mocha.
