"Coming from various sites throughout California, the 2015 Nuts & Bolts (100% Syrah) spent 18 months in 85% new French oak. It's a huge, black fruited, smoked duck, olive tapenade and tobacco leaf scented beauty that has full-bodied richness, a wealth of fruit, ripe, present tannin and a great finish. It's a classic Herman Story wine that shows just a touch more focus and firmness on the palate than the 2014, which is the vintage profile. For whatever reason, I never feel that the wines from Russell From’s Herman Story get the acclaim/recognition they deserve in the market. These are terrific wines that speak both to their site and to the estate, and I hope these notes and scores convince you to give them a try."

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.
