Holus Bolus Franc de Pied Syrah 2021
Sourced from a small block at John Sebastiano Vineyard in eastern Sta. Rita Hills. This block is planted without rootstock and the clonal material was “suitcased” in from France many years ago. These vines grow on their “French feet” hence the name Franc De Pied. Loads of savory and meaty notes are mixed in with a dark fruit profile and excellent texture.

Holus Bolus Franc de Pied Syrah 2021
This block of Syrah is typically blended with the two other blocks at John Sebastiano to make up the “regular” Holus Bolus Syrah.
100% Syrah from John Sebastiano Vineyard, which is located at the eastern edge of Sta. Rita Hills, in Santa Barbara County. The site was planted in 2007 to a density of 2,400 vines per acre. The vines are on their own rootstock and come from cuttings that were originally brought over from Côte Rôtie, hence the Franc de Pied naming.
These own-rooted vines always grow smaller, produce smaller clusters, and make what Peter and Amy feel is one of the most unique wines in their cellar.
The aromas are reminiscent of black olives, rosemary and smoke, giving way to flavors of dark raspberries and spice. Holus Bolus Franc de Pied Syrah is a fine example of cool climate Syrah. Enjoy now and over the next 8-10 years.
