I love the 2013 Companion and it's another terrific red made with a fair chunk of Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with 46% Syrah. The Cabernet comes from the Happy Canyon AVA in Santa Barbara County, as well as from Caliza's estate vineyard (which is where the Syrah is from). Aged 18-19 months in French oak, it offers gorgeous notes of cassis, toasted spice, licorice and lead pencil shavings in a rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated and beautifully balanced style. Drink this terrific red over the coming decade.
