"From a site made famous by Joe Donelan, the 2014 Syrah Griffin’s Lair from the Petaluma Wind Gap was fermented with 50% whole clusters as well as co-fermented Viognier. This dense purple wine is also great stuff – nearly perfect. It is only 14.5% natural alcohol but offers a wonderful nose of incense, Chinese black tea, white flowers, black raspberries and blackberries, some fried bacon, pepper and espresso. The wine has super-intensity, a lush, voluptuous texture, and a long, heady finish. Again, there’s no need to defer your gratification, as this is killer already. It should last another 5-7 years. Everybody should recognize the incredible speed at which Morgan Twain-Peterson has built his Bedrock Wine Co. into a world-class performer. Moreover, few people have done more to preserve and save heritage/ancient-vine vineyards than Peterson. Here is his new lineup of wines that shows his creative Midas touch for coaxing full character out of his diverse terroirs and blends. His commitment to excellence is something to admire."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
