6 - 2013 Petite Sirah, Monterey, California
 
Place Matters
Millions of years ago, alluvial fans and flood plains containing rock and shale fragments were deposited along the Central Coast region of California. These ancient marine layers are evidenced today by the rocky terrain and soils that we call ‘elder loam’. At Elder Rock, we strive to craft wines that display the unique terroir and prehistoric roots of the land, wines that express a strong sense of place.
 
2013 Petite Sirah, Monterey, California
The small berries of Petite Sirah create a high skin- to-juice ratio and some of the highest tannin levels compared to other red varieties. Aromas of concentrated black fruit, plums, and cassis with hints of mocha and spice are followed by a rich and balanced palate. Medium-bodied with dense tannins, the rich mouthfeel leads into a lingering, well-balanced finish.
 
Winemaking
The grapes for this wine were destemmed, crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The grapes were pressed and the wine left to settle in stainless steel prior to being racked on the heavy lees. Post-fermentation, the wine was aged with a combination of American and Hungarian oak.

“Quality is never an accident.  It is always the result of intelligent effort.” John Ruskin – artist, writer, philosopher (1819 – 1900)
 
To summarize the essence of a company in a one or two sentence mission statement is a daunting task. On the surface, our job at Scheid Vineyards is to supply our winery clients with the grapes they need at an acceptable price and at the highest quality possible. But it goes much deeper than that. For to supply a particular client with particular grapes implies an understanding of the specific wine and style being made and the knowledge of how to custom farm to achieve that profile. Say, a certain Sauvignon Blanc customer produces a grassy, herbaceous style of wine while another client aims for a more floral and fruitier character. Same grape, different approach. That’s where the “intelligent effort” part comes in.
 
Quality is a term that has been trivialized, used by purveyors from McDonald’s to Verizon to K-Mart. Genuine quality is harder to come by and does not mean simply well-made or acceptable. Real quality is that which is superior. It is the result of thought, analysis, communication, sweat and honest-to-God hard labor, succinctly stated by Mr. Ruskin as “intelligent effort”. True quality is giving each customer no less than exactly what they want and need.
 
It is never an accident.
