V Wine Symposium
Potent aroma of flowers aromas to be replaced by spices, wood and resin.
The mouth is powerful with strong tannins, you can easily age this wine for several years. Then black fruits like blackcurrant and blackberry will come out.

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.

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.
2018 Top Source Red Wine
(not eligible for discounts)
$30.00
Makes Me Happy To See A Newer Label....Attain a massive restaurant placement, sadly the French Laundry bought all of the Syrah that left me amazed at the quality of the production VS pricing. Enter the RED WINE from TOP SOURCE. One taste of this Rhône inspired delicacy will propel you towards the Euphoric feeling, parallel to the romance of your life.

2018 TOP SOURCE
COLUMBIA VALLEY RED WINE
A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Grenache, the 2018 Columbia Valley Red Wine has an earthy, meaty nose of spiced red and black fruits, smoked bacon, ground pepper, and assorted earthy, leathery, iron-like nuances. It leans heavily in the meaty, earthy end of the spectrum and is medium to full-bodied with a finish that leaves you craving more.

2019 Andremily EABA
(not eligible for discounts)
$160.00
IT'S BEEN MAGICAL FOR A LONG TIME......
Southern California Rhone inspired wines have captivated my pursuit of hedonistic expansion for well over a decade! This 2019 EABA just made the glass feel as if it contained weight as the texture and flavors are massively dense.

2019 ANDREMILY EABA
The 2019 Eaba is another uber-rich, opulent, sexy wine delivering a monster bouquet of ripe blackberries, smoked game, violets, and orange blossom as well as full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. This Syrah-dominated blend includes 24% Mourvèdre, 13% Grenache, and 2% Viognier and was sourced from a handful of sites (Bien Nacido, White Hawk, Larner, Harrison-Clarke, G2 and Alta Mesa). It will spend 22 months in 55% new oak.

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 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.

2019 La Sangre De Jonata

UN VINO ETÉREO
( An Ethereal Wine )
West coast Rhone varieties have become a true delicacy. The brand " California Rhone Wines " is so interesting to me, these producers are united in uplifting one another, that is all that matters to me. Being part of the wine community and representing the artistry most of these producers have achieved is in many way unparalleled.
This La Sangre De Jonata is so seductive, all one wants to do is sense its bouquet, take a sip and then you feel as Jeb feels! It's simply bad ass!

2019 JONATA
LA SANGRE DE JONATA
97 PUNTOS JEB DUNNUCK
The 2019 La Sangre De Jonata (91% Syrah, 6% Petite Sirah, and 3% Viognier) sports a similar dense purple hue as well as stunning blueberry and blackberry fruits intermixed with awesome graphite, ground pepper, liquid violet, and iron-like aromas and flavors. Stunningly pure, full-bodied, and concentrated, it has the more focused, structured style of this estate front and center as well as incredible purity and a finish that won't quit. This is brilliant all the way, and while it has some appeal today, it will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and, I suspect, have two decades of overall longevity.

2019 SINISTER HAND
COLUMBIA VALLEY
Lots of juicy berry fruits, briary herbs, pepper, and violet notes emerge from the 2019 Sinister Hand, Washington State's take on a terrific Côtes du Rhône. Medium-bodied, balanced, and just straight- up delicious, drink this charming, balanced Syrah blend (there's 18% each of Grenache and Mourvèdre with smaller amounts other varieties) over the coming 4-6 years.

The 2019 Sinister Hand displays spicy, dark, and savory characteristics. The exuberant nose has raspberry aromas with a hint of vanilla, while the lively palate has a soft juicy texture and a well-balanced acidity. Chewy tannins, black cherry, and a hint of toasty French oak round out the vibrant finish. 57% Syrah, 18% Grenache, 18% Mourvèdre, 5% White Rhone, 2% Cinsault
2019 Unknown Brother Syrah
(not eligible for discounts)
$55.00
INTOXICATING AROMAS....
They just don't appear out of nowhere, meticulous farming fused with some highly sought after legendary Alban & Estrella clones give this wine unparalleled Texture & Tension. Kimsey Vineyard Rhone varieties are the benchmark for California Rhone, I've been drinking wines from the vineyard since 2013...this Brother knows, a must open "Bohemianistic" effort!

( WINE LAB 5 STARS )
2019 UNKNOWN BROTHER
KIMSEY VINEYARD
The wine opens with scents of warmed blackberry cobbler, red and black currant jelly, and a bouquet of lilacs and violets, with nuances of black pepper and orange zest. On the palate the wine is bright and fresh but oh so layered, with waves of blueberry compote building to a crescendo of shaved chocolate, cranberry sauce with hints of garden mint and sweet pipe tobacco. The wine is drinking fabulously upon release but will gain complexity in your cellar if you have the patience.

2020 Sine Qua Non
Syrah Distenta 11
99 Points The Wine Advocate / 99 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2020 Syrah Distenta 11 is a blend of 82.9% Syrah, 7.5% Grenache, 3.9% Mourvèdre, 3.4% Petite Sirah and 2.3% white (1.5% Muskat and 0.8% Petit Manseng, to be precise). It comes entirely from estate vineyards: The Third Twin (43%), Eleven Confessions (32%), Cumulus (21%) and Molly Aïda (3%). It was fermented with 16% whole clusters and matured for about 23 months in 66% new French oak. "I like whole cluster less on Syrah," Manfred Krankl explains. "It can be more herbal. But these 2020s are much more fleshy and unctuous, so it shows better." Opaque purple black in color, it features aromas of cassis and blueberries, charcuterie, lavender and coffee beans, changing continually as it spends time in the glass. The full-bodied palate boasts tremendous floral perfume, a frame of rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and fragrant.
JD
Tons of red, blue, and black fruits as well as peppery herbs and liquid violet-like nuances emerge from the 2020 Syrah Distenta II, a full-bodied, concentrated, remarkably balanced barrel sample that's based on 83% Syrah, 7.5% Grenache, and the rest Mourvèdre, Petite Sirah, Muscat, and Petit Manseng. I love its mid-palate, it has ripe, sweet tannins, and a gorgeous finish. It's unquestionably a brilliant wine in the making.
