2018 CHATEAU REDORTIER BEAUMES-DE-VENISE
(not eligible for discounts)
$30.00
INSTANT WINE LAB RECOMMENDATION
Just wrapped up a tasting that defines in the moment wine promotion projections, this is great with an array of foods that are just fun to enjoy.
Love Steak Super Burritos? Shawarma? Spicy Spaghetti? This is it! Friendly in price and overdelivering in quality and texture.
~ The Wine Lab
5 Stars The Wine Lab
2018 CHATEAU REDORTIER
BEAUMES-DE-VENISE
60% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 5% Counoise
The Syrah pops big with all its spice-dust and crusty earth, and Grenache fills-in the gaps with its mouthwatering strawberry and raspberry fruits. And that sliver of Counoise? Is a tempting delight to conclude!
The Beaumes 2018 is sensually supple without effort, it shows a nice and balanced concentration with medium to full body and a creamy texture. There is sweetness in the mouth, length and a silky finish.

CALIFORNIA SOUTHERN RHONE
A potent decadent nose with a sultry ravenous vivacity that leaves you only thinking of desiring more.
~ The V Wine Lab
2018 FULLDRAW VINEYARD
CHOPPING BLOCK
94 MASSIVE POINTS JEB D
A Southern Rhône-like blend of 49% Syrah, 34% Grenache, and 17% Mourvèdre that spent 18 months in 50% new French oak, the 2018 Chopping Block has a big, opulent nose of smoked black fruits, black licorice, pot roast, and peppered meat-like aromas and flavors. This deep, powerful, inky colored effort stays balanced and relatively light on its feet and has a stacked mid-palate as well as a great finish. It's not for the Pinot Noir-only crowd out there, but it offers incredible pleasure.
2018 Shafer Relentless Signed Bottles
(not eligible for discounts)
$105.00
The Wine Lab Is Always Open
to taste, to learn, to listen, to observe and most of all to promote wines that add to your sensorial joy.
Elias Fernandez, winemaker at Shafer Vineyards for over 3 decades is one such LUMINARY that embodies what we do here in the RND Lab.
Relentless is an iconic bottling, yet Elias has taken the production to a level that engulfs all other Syrah productions with the addition of a new fruit source starting with the 20th Anniversary Vintage.
I recently had the luxury to taste the yet to be released 2019 and YES, it's a mind blowing 100 Point Wine to be.

2018 SHAFER RELENTLESS
20th ANNIVERSARY
98 Points Jeb Dunnuck
A blend of 94% Syrah and 6% Petite Sirah, the 2018 Relentless looks to be just about sensational, offering a dense purple color as well as rich, loaded notes of blackberries, currants, smoked meats, peppery spice, and violets. Reminding me of a great Cornas on steroids with its gamy, exotic character paired with beautiful richness, it has fabulous purity, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. This will undoubtedly be a great vintage for this cuvée, and my money is on it being one of the best yet.
2019 Andremily No. 8 Syrah
(not eligible for discounts)
$175.00
WHERE ARE WE GOING? TO THE TOP!
The whole West Coast is local to us, the Andremily wines are at the epicenter of California Rhone wines ascending the ladder to the top at a rapid pace. Passion coupled with potency is the lifestyle we pursue, the No. 8 Syrah is a Bad *ss wine that delivers.
~ V Wine Lab
2019 ANDREMILY No. 8
100 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Another magical wine in the lineup, the 2019 No 8 is Syrah-based, with 9% Mourvèdre and 3% Viognier. There should be a little over 800 cases produced, and it was 55% destemmed and is still resting in 65% new French oak. I love its freshness and elegance, and it’s one of those rare incredibly hedonistic yet seamless, weighty wines that does everything right. Pure cassis, blackberries, smoked meats, and white pepper slowly emerge on the nose, and it’s full-bodied, with perfect balance and a great, great finish.
2019 ARGOT INDIGO SYRAH
(not eligible for discounts)
$90.00
FLAVORS & TEXTURES
THAT ENHANCE PASSION!
Syrah that intertwines your senses all at once ,and with time, the 2019 INDIGO continues to take you deeper into rewarding pleasure! Superb, it's what we've come to expect!
~ The V Wine Lab
2019 ARGOT INDIGO SYRAH
97 OVERDELIVERING POINTS JEB DUNNUCK
Brought up in more new French oak (90%), the 2019 Syrah Indigo is inky purple-hued and gives up a killer bouquet of blackberries, beef blood, bay leaf, iron, peppery herbs, and bacon fat. It's rich, full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, with a dense, rich, powerful, yet also focused style that stays graceful and elegant. This is a gorgeous Syrah in every way that should have 10-15 years of prime drinking.

2019 DOMAINE DE LA JANASSE
CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE VIELLES VIGNES
99 POINTS JEB DUNNUCK
Lovers of brilliant Châteauneuf du Pape should snatch up bottles of the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes, which comes mostly from the northeastern sector of the appellation, from the La Janasse lieu-dit as well as from the La Crau lieu-dit. Revealing a deeper ruby/plum color to go with a spectacular bouquet of peppery garrigue, smoked meats, blackcurrants, black cherries, and truffly earth, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness and has no hard edges, with building tannins and another blockbuster of a finish. While this wine is always rich and powerful, it’s the level of elegance and purity that really sets it apart in this vintage. Give bottles 2-3 years in the cellar and enjoy over the following 20+ years or more.
2019 Hawks Hill Liquidity
(not eligible for discounts)
$95.00
BUILDING SUCCESS
In the last few years I've observed how the Paso Robles winemakers have been uplifting one another in order to propel the area as a whole to stardom. More recently, we have been tasting and enjoying wines from the area prior to release.
Launching a brand in a competitive arena can be an immense task for anyone. Yet, when you possess terroir, artistry & viticultural know how it all leads to success. Working with ambassadors that appreciate your craft and expand on a brands vision, is great. We are just appreciative of the support these modern day luminaries display towards us.
Let's Keep It Going!

Introducing The Three T's
TERROIR, TEXTURE, TENSION
This Wine Has All 3.
2019 HAWKS HILL LIQUIDITY
V WINE CELLAR 5 STARS
60% Syrah 40% Grenache
The 2019 Liquidity is the second vintage that co-fermentation was implemented for Syrah and Grenache together the same way northern Rhone Cote Rotie wines are done. This process binds the wines together earlier and helps achieve a deeper crimson color. This wine is showing the evolution of our wine making and the result is a more structured wine, with tremendous longevity and complexity. This wine is still a little tight and closed, so be sure to open it a couple hours before enjoying to allow it show.
2019 INSTITUTION SYRAH

V WINE LAB EXCLUSIVE
Caught up with the HEDONISTIC HIT MAKERS at INSTITUTION WINERY yesterday and got my 1st glimpse of this 2019 GREYWACKE VINEYARD Syrah. The wine has a seductive texture that leaves you with the pulsating imprint of a kiss you've desired and has left you in a state of welcomed flux. Our one Wine Lab RND is the only one out in the wilds of Napa and did not last long.

Carlos Falla, V Wine Cellar
100 Points The Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, it erupts from the glass with a powerfully fragrant nose of red roses, Morello cherries, boysenberries and juicy blueberries, followed by hints of mocha, star anise, cardamom and cassia. The concentrated, full-bodied palate is jam-packed with bright, crunchy black, blue and red fruits. It has a rock-solid structure of firm, finely-grained tannins and seamless freshness lifting the shimmering layers to a long, energetic finish. The complexity and vivacity of this Syrah are simply jaw-dropping!
100 Points Jeb Dunnuck
A full-bodied, seductive, incredibly sexy wine that’s just about overflowing with fruit, its deep purple color is followed by beautiful cassis and darker berry fruits as well as notes of smoke game, pepper, and spring flowers. The tannins are polished, and it has a great mid-palate as well as one heck of a great finish. Due to the difficulty in trademarking names today, the estate has settled on using the name Distenta for their normal Syrah going forward. Luckily though, the incredible artwork on the labels will continue.

DESIRS REALISABLES
The RND Lab has been on fire this week, a wine weakness of mine is Grenache ( Garnacha ), weaving in and out of all stylistic worlds with ease. When you taste a wine that leaves you in a state of desire, what else is there?
~ The Wine Lab
2020 DOMAINE SANTA DUC
VACQUEYRAS ROUGE LES AUBES
80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, boasts intriguing aromas of garrigue, fennel, roses and purple raspberries. It's medium to full-bodied and silky in texture, striking a fine structural balance between delicacy and tensile strength, with a long, mouthwatering, licorice-tinged finish.

2019 Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep purple-black in color, the nose of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon slowly unfurls to reveal a gorgeous perfume of violets and roses over a core of kirsch, boysenberries and cassis, plus hints of redcurrant jelly and menthol, emerging into wafts of pencil lead and truffles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house, featuring very firm, wonderfully ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness to support the vivacious, tightly wound black and red fruit layers, finishing long and mineral laced. It's a stunning, evocative, singular wine that so beautifully captures the long, slow-maturing grace of the 2019 vintage.
99 Points Jeb Dunnuck
2019 Turtle Rock Maturin
James Berry Vineyard
Flirting with perfection is the 2019 Maturin James Berry Vineyard, a blend of 34% Graciano, 32% Mourvèdre, 18% Syrah, and 16% Grenache. It saw some stems as well as 80% new barrels. It has incredibly purity in its black raspberry and cassis fruits as well as notes of white pepper and crushed flowers. Full-bodied, ultra-fine, perfectly balanced, and as seamless as they come, this pair power with elegance brilliantly. It will evolve for 10-15 years.

2018 Sine Qua Non Ziehharmonika
Checking in as 82% Syrah, 6.7% Mourvèdre, and the rest Petite Sirah and Grenache, the 2018 Syrah Ziehharmonika was largely destemmed and brought up in 51% new French oak. Gorgeous crème de cassis, smoked game, bacon fat, and spring flower notes all soar from the glass of this beauty, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, ripe, building tannins, and a rare mix of richness and freshness. Unquestionably made in a more restrained, elegant style compared to a decade ago, it nevertheless is flawlessly balanced, has awesome tannins, and is just another magical wine from this address that's going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades.
Rhone Three Pack
$285.00
INTERCONTINENTAL RHONE GIANTS
Connections we carry from the past and connections we make in the present that add to the sheer enjoyment we receive from drinking these wines.
Don Burns from Turtle was kind enough to, recently, treat us to a bottle of his awesome G2 Syrah ~ well deserved demand for his craft. Justin Harmon from Argot Wines, a 6 year run and running here with us as we share the same Rhone passion. PEGASO old vine Garnacha ( Grenache ) coming from very unique terroir in the Sierras west of Madrid is the delicate lacing that holds the other two hedonistic sensations together....Easy to fall in love with these for sure!

2019 Turtle Rock Willows Cuvee
97 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Willow's Cuvee checks in as 57% Grenache, 28% Syrah, 12% Mourvèdre, and the rest Tempranillo, and it’s from the G2 and Cruz Vineyards and saw 30% stems and 60% new barrels. Kirsch, blackberries, herbes de Provence, and white pepper nuances all give way to a medium to full-bodied, round, supple, beautifully balanced 2019 that’s already hard to resist. It’s going to bring the goods over the coming 10-12 years.
It may be too late to get on the mailing list, but Don Burn’s Turtle Rock is unquestionably one of California’s new superstars.
2019 Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra
95+ The Wine Advocate
The explosive nose of the 2017 Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra is all thyme and flowers, really expressive, aromatic and redolent of the herbs found in the surroundings of the Gredos Mountains. It's especially representative of the Mediterranean character of the year. It has powerful aromatics that keep growing in the glass, floral and spicy, with notes that are reminiscent of curry, nutmeg and Jamaica pepper. It's very showy and intoxicating, with the tight tannins of the slate soils—they are chalky and finer grained than the slightly coarser tannins from granite.
2019 ARGOT INDIGO SYRAH
97 Jeb Dunnuck
Brought up in more new French oak (90%), the 2019 Syrah Indigo is inky purple-hued and gives up a killer bouquet of blackberries, beef blood, bay leaf, iron, peppery herbs, and bacon fat. It's rich, full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, with a dense, rich, powerful, yet also focused style that stays graceful and elegant. This is a gorgeous Syrah in every way that should have 10-15 years of prime drinking.
