In the summer of 2014 the Wellington crew was narrowing in on the final blend for the 2013 Victory. The RPM Tour group had the opportunity to make their own blend (Revelry) from the same components, but with only one day to blend, taste, reblend, and make a decision. I personally tasted the two wines side by side for the first time just this past Monday. We tasted them blind, described them, chose a favorite and guessed what they were. All three of us preferred the Victory, but only two of three guessed which was which. My personal opinion is that the Revelry is currently more open, complex and accessible. The Victory is denser and more concentrated, but a bit simple and closed in at this stage. I'm curious and would really appreciate comments after people receive the wines and have a chance to try them, particularly any side by side tastings. Please be aware that both of these wines are relative infants and should continue to develop for several more years.
 
Tasting notes, Oct. 31, 2016
 
2013 Wellington Victory Reserve
Cherry and cassis fruit, some mint and vanilla, spice, pepper, anise and violets.
Full entry, excellent depth and concentration, good viscosity, balanced acid, some mid-palate astringency. Richness carries through to the medium long, moderately astringent finish.
                                                  
2013 Woot Cellars Revelry, Sonoma County Red Wine
This wine is the blend put together by the RPM Magical History Tour of 2014.  The composition of the wine is precisely as determined by the Tourists, with the following treatments: The blend was racked and assembled shortly after the tour, at ten months age.  It was then returned to 60 gallon French oak barrels, approximately 60% from the 2013 vintage, for an additional seven months of aging. Shortly before bottling, the alcohol level was reduced to 14.3%, based on taste trials.

Vendor Details

Wellington Vineyards

Founded:
1986
Owner:
Peter Wellington
Location:
Glen Ellen, CA
Wellington Vineyards is owned Peter Wellington. Peter's father John purchased the winery site in 1986. At the time, it consisted of 20 acres of old vines and a few decrepit old fruit and nut trees. Replanting of part of the old vineyard and orchard started in 1988. The winery was completed in time for the 1989 crush. We grow approximately half the grapes we use and purchase the remainder, primarily from small, unique vineyards.
 
The estate vineyards consist of 21 acres, 8 of which are 85 to 117 years old. There are 24 different varieties in the old vineyard, with the most common being Zinfandel, Carignan, Alicante Bouschet, Grenache and Syrah. In addition, there are 10 acres of eleven to sixteen year old vines that consist of Merlot, Chardonnay, Marsanne, and Syrah. We grow more Merlot than anything else. Three more acres were replanted in 2001, predominantly to Syrah, Zinfandel and Grenache.
