2007 TOR ROCK Syrah, Judge Family Vineyards, Hommage Allan, 750ml

Purchase 2007 TOR ROCK Syrah, Judge Family Vineyards, Hommage Allan, 750ml

This wine is a blend of 75% Grenache, 21% Syrah and 4% Marsanne.  Both the Syrah and Grenache are fermented using their own wild/native yeasts and then transferred to barrel to complete fermentation and is then bottled both unfined and unfiltered.  The Marsanne from the Stagecoach Vineyard in the western mountain range of Napa Valley is added mid-palate and a seductive black fruit high note to the nose. This wine is homage to Châteauneuf du Pape, and the Allans in my family; Scottish ancestors, my father, and son.

“It’s classic aromas of kirsch liqueur, licorice, and charcoal do an admirable job of imitating a serious Châteauneuf du Pape from France’s Rhône Valley.  A deep ruby/purple color, broad, full-bodied flavors, and plenty of purity...”
