The Cabernet Shiraz has been a Loxton Cellars favorite since the first version in 2005. The style has changed little over the years except for showing the natural vintage variations.Tasted from barrel, the wine has great color, some of the mulberry fruit of Cabernet which dominates at the moment, while the palate shows some elegance and medium plus body with oak influence that adds to the excellent tannin structure. There is nice fruit sweetness and I expect this wine to be ready to drink in 12 months, but will also reward time in the cellar.
My Zinfandel block at Rossi Ranch still contains a significant portion of the original vines planted in 1910!
Mountain viticulture is indeed a different experience, and I can’t begrudge that these are the most expensive grapes I’ve ever purchased. This is true Moon Mountain Cabernet sauvignon; excellent tannin structure and brushy fruit notes that seem to reflect the chapparal and high elevations of the mountain. I received fruit from 3 different vineyard blocks, and I think it should be enjoyed with bigger meals. Ready now but can be cellared for another 10-15 years.
The GSP has been one of my best selling wines over the past few years and is a wine that seems to go with so many occasions. All Estate Grown fruit, 63% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 15% Petite sirah. Enjoy now and for the next 5 years to have with stews, pork and savory foods.
A more elegant style than the estate wine also offered in this selection, with more red fruit and freshness. I find this wine a little more versatile with food as it doesn’t need heavier dishes to find the right match. Drink now and for the next 5 years in good storage conditions.
The Cuvée Ellen label, a tribute to my grandmother Ellen is made from fruit grown here in Glen Ellen. The first Ellen Syrah was made in 2007, also with more restrained Syrah components, and that blend continues to show well today. This is a lovely wine that can be enjoyed now but should continue to improve for another 5-8 years. This wine is medium bodied, elegant and with lots of cherry fruit flavors and spice.
The Rossi Syrah is usually the biggest of my Syrah wines and is kept longer in bottle before release for that reason. It is my last release from 2019 and the extra time has allowed the wine to showcase the meaty and gamey side of the Syrah grape. It will be at its best with more sturdy meals and will continue to hold up for another 8+ years for those with cellar space.
My first varietal Grenache from Rose Ranch. The beautiful growing season in ’23 has given us a wine with wonderful cherry fruit aromatics, excellent fruit sweetness in the middle palate and a medium bodied wine with gentle tannins. This is the sort of wine that is delightful with pork and richer chicken dishes but can still handle bigger dishes where freshness and fruit is required.
Sonoma Valley's Rossi Ranch is an outstanding organically farmed vineyard that was organically planted in 1910 and produces grapes for a number of wineries. The 2019 Syrah comes from one of the replanted blocks and showcases the intensity and density of this special site. Our 2022 Zinfandel comes from one of the heritage blocks and is a field blend of predominantly Zinfandel with some of the vines being the originals planted in 1910.
Sonoma Reds is our very popular everyday red wine. Zinfandel and Grenache are the main players but smaller quantities of all that I make go into the blend. Case discounts of 25% apply and this wine can be mixed with the Shiraz to make up the case.
