Andremily is best known for Rhône-variety reds built on Santa Barbara County fruit, but a specific “Andremily Syrah Santa Barbara 2023” bottling can’t be verified as an actual released wine based on the available sources. The producer’s own Syrah page lists vintages only from No.1 (2012) through No.8 (2019), with “no mention of a 2023 release,” according to the compiled research from the official winery site (Andremily) and related checks. Likewise, no vintage-specific critic notes or scores for a 2023 Syrah were located in the materials provided.
What is clear is the context behind the label and the style Andremily typically aims for. The winery was founded in 2012 by Jim Binns and his wife Rachel, and Binns brings significant pedigree: he spent “12 years (2006–2017) as assistant winemaker to Manfred Krankl at Sine Qua Non,” as reported by WineWatch. That background helps explain the house reputation for ambition and intensity.
Sourcing has historically centered on key Santa Barbara County sites. WineWatch notes the early foundations included fruit from White Hawk Vineyard in Cat Canyon (via contracts connected to Krankl), along with Larner Vineyard in Ballard Canyon and Alta Mesa in Cuyama Valley. The Wine Independent adds that Andremily focuses on blending Rhône varieties around the Central Coast and that the wines are “typically ripe, rich, concentrated, and powerful,” often landing at “15% or higher” alcohol. In terms of élevage, WineWatch reports an approach of “22–28 months in French oak barrels (60–70% new)” for the reds, and past Syrah bottlings have included blending partners such as Mourvèdre and small portions of Viognier (Andremily’s own historical vintage listings cite, for example, 2019 No.8 at 88% Syrah, 9% Mourvèdre, 3% Viognier).
With no professional reviews provided for the purported 2023, this summary is necessarily producer- and style-driven rather than score-driven. If you can share a tech sheet, back label, or reviewer excerpts for the 2023, I can produce a true review-based report and call out any top critical praise directly.
