2019 Ex Post Facto Santa Barbara County Syrah

Wine Advocate
Review Date: 03/2022The 2019 Syrah from Ex Post Facto was made entirely with whole clusters and spent, "a zillion years in the fermenter, as always," quips winemaker Greg Brewer. It's fantastically expressive this vintage, with pure scents of red and black currants, cracked pepper, mint, coffee beans and wildflowers. Medium-bodied and silty in texture, its intense, spicy fruits are perfectly ripe, and fresh acidity adds crunchy appeal on the long, layered finish. Yum! (EB)

The list of achievements for Greg Brewer grows longer and longer with the passing of every vintage. From his days crafting the wines at Melville, to the founding of his own personal brands Brewer-Clifton & Diatom. He's logged nearly three decades of experience yet remains defiantly youthful and as driven as ever. The entirety of his career has been on making the best wines possible within the Sta. Rita Hills and he's a relentless ambassador for the entire Santa Barbara County wine growing region. With Ex Post Facto, Greg gets to step outside of his Burgundian focus at Brewer-Clifton and explore his passion for cool climate Syrah, inspired by the monumental achievements created in the northern Rhône region of France. Tasting through Greg's portfolio, it's quite clear that he's earned the mounting accolades bestowed upon him over the years, culminating in being named Winemaker of the Year 2020 by Wine Enthusiast magazine. Yet, knowing Greg, the best is likely yet to come. You owe it to yourself to know these wines.
