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 Mt. Veeder 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.
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 66% Syrah (some coming from Rossi Ranch Vineyard and some from the Estate Vineyard) and 34% Cabernet sauvignon from McGraw 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 Ellen Syrah was first made in 2007 (and is still drinking beautifully!) and in later years morphed into the Reserve Syrah, but has then changed back to the more elegant and balanced style starting with the 2016. The 2019 continues this style with one further development, where we have co-fermented 6% Estate Viognier with the Syrah to help build aromatic complexity.
My Zinfandel block at Rossi Ranch still contains a significant portion of the original vines planted in 1910!
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 2019 is a little more fruit forward than the past few years and somewhat softer with a rounder tannin structure. A wine to enjoy now and for the next 5-8 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, 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Petite sirah. Enjoy now and for the next 5 years to have with stews, pork and savory foods.
This non-vintage Shiraz is a barrel selection of wines from the various Syrah programs that has been bottled separately coming from 2021 & 2022, all chosen for having plenty of flavor and character. Club members will recieve 25% off for a case.
