Our second wine now from Rose Ranch. In ’24 we were able to wait for full maturity and this wine shows the full potential of the variety. Good acidity, great fruit and a little tannic backbone that is a characteristic of Grenache. A great light summer wine and should accompany just about anything.
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, 28% Syrah, 9% Petite sirah. Enjoy now and for the next 5 years to have with stews, pork and savory foods.
32 is a special number for me as my dad was born in 1932, so this Bin 32 wine is a subtle nod to my father Bob, using the bin number scheme often used in Australia to designate where wines were stored for later labelling. This vintage is 67% Syrah (some coming from Rossi Ranch Vineyard and some from the Estate Vineyard) and 33% Cabernet sauvignon from Wildwood Vineyard. A great food wine, big enough to match bigger meals, yet so balanced you can enjoy by itself. Enjoyable now but will easily improve for another 5-8 years in the cellar if you have patience.
The Cabernet Shiraz being such a popular wine in my portfolio has made me not change the style over the years except for showing the natural vintage variations.The Cabernet gives the wine lots of structure and bright red fruit while the Syrah rounds out the middle palate. A wine to enjoy now with bigger meals or to let it improve in the cellar for the next 10 years or more.
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 estate Syrah has shown that it deserves to be bottled separately, as it is a wonderful example of Syrah from here on the Estate vineyard. The 2021 wines were uniformly excellent, perhaps Nature’s payback for the devastation brought by the 2020 fires, and this is no exception. Dense color and great fruit are the hallmarks with a silky smooth finish. Drinks great now with dinner and will continue to ago gracefully for another 6 years.
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.
Sonoma Reds is our very popular everyday red wine. Grenache and Zinfandel 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 NV Shiraz to make up the case.
Made from Estate grown grapes, this blend is based on the Zinfandel grown on the hillside at the back of the property bringing bright berry flavors with Petite sirah added for color and structure and Grenache for acidity and red fruit. I strongly recommend this wine with any grilled foods over Summer, and it should keep its fruit and intensity for another 4-5 years if you have patience and cellaring space. I think it is a lovely tribute to those old pioneers in the California wine industry who worked so hard to establish this wine region.
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 2022 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.
