Rocinante Wines
John and Susan VowellFeatured in the June, 2003 issue of Wine Spectator
Big red wines from unique, small vineyards. That is what we like to drink so that is what we make. Making only four barrels of wine allows us to experiment and try things that aren't by the book. Come by and taste our Merlot and Syrah. We guarantee you will walk away with a purple tongue!
2001 Merlot Napa Valley, St. Helena
Our Merlot is made from grapes we grow on our property in St. Helena. We waited and watched, and then waited some more before finally picking the ultra-ripe fruit. the result is a huge, well-balanced wine filled with dark fruit and coffee notes. It begs to share the table with your finest cut of beef.2001 Syrah Dry Creek Valley
Our Syrah comes from one of the most unique vineyard sites in the Dry Creek Valley. A hilltop vineyard with deep red clay soils and a unique climate combine to produce grapes that make a big Northern Rhone style Syrah. As always, we were the last to pick this vineyard in 2001. The result is a dark purple, full-bodied wine ready for dinner tonight or ten years from now. Big red wine lovers only, please!
