A coastal Chardonnay showing excellent richness balanced by crisp acidity and bright fruit notes with oak being a minor factor.

Pinot from the Petaluma Gap showing a sweet cherry fruit note, forest floor, tobacco leaf and just a hint of smokiness, providing lovely drinking with lighter meals now and for the next 5 years.

Extra time in the cellar has given this library release a sweet middle palate, softer, red fruit and the leather that is a hallmark of older Syrah. A wine for a special dinner and it should hold for another 3-4 years.

A Syrah showing wonderful balance of fruit, oak and tannin that evolves over the course of the meal, showing primary fruit then violets and some leather.

A tribute to my grandmother Ellen is the best wine I can make from Syrah grown here in Glen Ellen, 50% Estate and 50% from Rossi Ranch Chosen for its intensity, elegance and structure, I feel this is the best Reserve Syrah I’ve made.
