You should all buy these. Seriously. You're basically getting $20 off after woot shipping without considering what you'd pay for shipping from Santa Barbara. Larry's wines are absolutely fantastic. And personally, I love the White Hawk vineyard.

Thanks Kyle - greatly appreciated!!!! I started working with White Hawk in 2010- and still have the first of my White Hawk syrahs, my 2010, in barrel. Did two separate ferments that year - one cofermented with about 6% vio and the other with 25% whole cluster inclusion. Hope to bottle them this summer . . .

I pay people well (-: (you know, it's tough to be sarcastic online and not be taken seriously . . .)
We really do care about those who come into the tasting room, and I really do care about my customers . . . so we work hard to make sure we overdeliver on our wines, our service, and our verbiage!
Cheers

Love me some White Hawk Syrah! And that sounds like a super interesting side-by-side.

Just about to release my two newest grenaches, the 09 Larner (75% whole cluster) and 09 Watch Hill (50% whole cluster). Both saw 30 months in neutral oak and both are pretty darned amazing - if I say so myself!!!!

Yep. Buy! (Although I had the last vintage.)

A little winery called Shafer (MAN, I wish my last name was spelled differently!!!) makes a wine called Relentless (current release was WS Wine of the Year this year). Usually about 80 syrah and 20 PS. Plenty of reviews of my wines on CellarTracker . . .
And the viognier is definitely more 'demure' - more acid driven and food friendly. Give it a decant, put it back to bottle, and serve it a little warmer than at cellar temperature . . .
Cheers!

Well, the Cuvee Christie is about 75% grenache - so at least that's a start!!!
We'll have to see how this goes - and how the reaction is for my new releases shortly.
