George fell in love with Ribolla Gialla in the early ‘90s while traveling in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Northeastern Italy, and committed to bringing this variety home to California. Cuttings were taken from Josko Gravner’s heralded vineyard in Friuli and suitcased into the United States, signaling the first arrival of this ancient variety in California. In 2001, George and Elsa planted the cuttings in their home vineyard at the foot of Mt. Veeder in the Western Napa Valley. The soils here are deep, alluvial, gravelly clay-loam and the vines are densely-planted, encouraging competition between the vines. The site benefits from early afternoon shading, while daytime temperatures are moderated by proximity to the adjacent redwood-forested slopes of Mt. Veeder.

Paul Clary took a big risk in 2000 when he planted Pinot Noir and Syrah in this extremely cold and windy site. The ranch is now owned and tended by Drew Beuchley and the same crew that has worked these vines since they were planted. The Coast Range Mountains in Northern California run parallel to the coastline but take a sudden dip and nearly disappear around Bodega Bay in Sonoma County. It is at this point that cool air over the Pacific Ocean is drawn inland via convective forces through the Petaluma Gap, moderating the climate in this entire section of the Sonoma Coast. Our coldest vineyard for Syrah, Clary has been harvested as late as November 18th at under 12% alcohol. The protracted growing season paired with the sedimentary clay-loam soils slow the ripening and allow us to farm without irrigation resulting in fruit that is deeply pigmented and loaded with flavor. The resulting wines we have made exhibit soaring aromatics, expressive exotic spice notes, and high natural acidity that are hallmarks of this wind scraped vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polaner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40055473504291,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/6221\/files\/DSC00423.jpg?v=1685210208"},{"product_id":"arnot-roberts-red-wine-california-2021","title":"Arnot-Roberts Red Wine California 2021","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion: California, United States\u003cbr\u003e Appellation: California\u003cbr\u003e Color\/Style: Red Wine\u003cbr\u003e Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Arnot Roberts Red wine is sourced from four vineyards.

Wine, just like food, or music, or art, should have a certain kind of authenticity–it should come from someone and somewhere. This idea is what informs the work that we do. We try to make honest wines that we believe in. We hope you like them.” –Sashi Moorman, Piedrasassi Sashi and his wife, Melissa, have been making great, restrained, Northern Rhone-style Syrah for a decade, until now selling it only in California, and we are thrilled to bring their wines, in their very distinctive squat bottle, to the Tri-State area. The husband and wife team began making a small amount of wine in Lompoc, CA in 2003 under the Piedrasassi label. The focus of Piedrasassi’s wine program is cool climate Syrah. Sashi \u0026amp; Melissa believe that good Syrah can be made at many sites in Santa Barbara County, but it is at the cool climate sites that Syrah is at its most compelling; producing the most complex aromas and the most savory textures. The vineyard sites for Piedrasassi range from Ballard Canyon in the east to the Santa Rita Hills and Arroyo Grande in the west. In the vineyard, the team at Piedrasassi picks a bit earlier than their colleagues to keep the alcohol levels in balance with flavor and to preserve the natural acidity of the fruit. In the winery, Moorman employs some whole cluster inclusion, indigenous yeast fermentation, and no sulfur added at fermentation, remaining as natural as possible without compromising the integrity of the wine. Elevage is in 500L barrels to limit the wine’s exposure to oxygen and to minimize the influence of oak. They add the smallest amount of sulfur to the wine at bottling; allowing the aromatics to stay expressive while still protecting the wine during cellaring. The result, in all of these bottlings, is Syrah that shows off the different sites through aromas that bloom and evolve in the glass and tannins that grip and engage the palate. The tasting room also has a bakery connected, which Melissa runs. They make fresh loaves of bread Wednesday through Sunday, just highlighting how truly they are tied to the Earth and their sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skurnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40088818974755,"sku":null,"price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/6221\/files\/DSC00607.jpg?v=1691261045"},{"product_id":"lioco-mendocino-county-pinot-noir-2022","title":"Lioco Mendocino County Pinot Noir 2023","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion: California\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Appellation: Mendocino County \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Type\/Style: Red Wine\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Grapes: Pinot Noir \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skurnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40143223324707,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/6221\/files\/DSC00996.jpg?v=1697838480"},{"product_id":"josh-phelps-grounded-california-cabernet-sauvignon-2020","title":"Josh Phelps 'Grounded' California Cabernet Sauvignon 2021","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion: United States\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Appellation: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCalifornia\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Type\/Style: Red Wine\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skurnik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40197687574563,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/6221\/files\/DSC01256.jpg?v=1702825870"},{"product_id":"outward-wines-cabernet-sauvignon-carmel-valley-2022","title":"Outward Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Carmel Valley 2022","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion: California \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Appellation: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCarmel Valley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Type\/Style: Red Wine \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40197692784675,"sku":null,"price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/6221\/files\/DSC01255.jpg?v=1702825837"},{"product_id":"claire-hill-grist-syrah-2021","title":"Claire Hill Grist Syrah 2021","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion: California, United States\u003cbr\u003eAppellation: Sonoma County\u003cbr\u003eType\/Style:\u003cbr\u003eGrapes: \u003cspan\u003eSyrah and Viognier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA vibrant, cool-climate expression of Syrah, offering pretty aromatics of dark berries, pepper, and more subtle floral notes.
