At Ampelos, they believe in taking care of and respecting the environment and feel the vineyard needs to be in balance, therefore a few years ago they made the decision to go 100% bio-dynamic. This means they are essentially organic - yet a step beyond. In 2008, they were one of the first vineyards to be certified as Sustainably Farmed, a milestone of which they are particularly proud.
"Intense, with ripe, grapey wild berry, black cherry and huckleberry fruit that's tightly wound and slow to unfold. As it does, the flavors gain depth focus and complexity, ending with a tight, persistent finish. Best from 2010 through 2016. 440 cases made" 91 points, The Wine Spectator

One Christmas, a good customer brought Joe a gift of a 1978 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, Domaine Dujac.

And so his quest began.
Owner/ winemaker Joe Davis strives to create wines that fully expresses the distinct characteristics of each vineyard and California's Central Coast region. To this end, whenever possible he gains control over the vineyard by leasing the land as opposed to simply purchasing the grapes at harvest. By controlling yields from these vineyards and keeping them very low (he farms his Pinot Noir to 2-2.5 tons to the acre), he increases grape quality. The resulting wine speaks more about where it came from than about the hands that made it. This "somewhereness" vs. "someoneness" concept appeals to him because he believes the best wine is made more in the vineyard than in the winery.

Black Bart successfully robbed 27 Wells Fargo stagecoaches between 1875-1883. Without ever harming a single passenger he became well-known for replacing the strongbox with his sarcastic poetry, which he always signed “PO-8”.
Black Bart was eventually captured after leaving behind a handkerchief marked "fxo7". Police traced the laundress mark to a Charles. E. Bolton, an '"elegantly'" dressed gentleman, sporting a white mustache and a bowler. Released after serving four years in San Quentin Prison, Black Bart was never heard from again...
Like the legendary WANTED Black Bart, Black Bart Syrah is highly sought after and almost impossible to find. Unfiltered and unfined it is bold and brash once uncorked. The highest grapes to be plucked from Pritchard Hill truly show the strength, character and surprising elegance of Stagecoach terroir. &id=){kind=link}
, a federally designated area that has climatic, geologic and geographic features that distinguish it from the land surrounding it. Dramatic climate changes occur at the Chalone Vineyard not only from season to season but hour to hour. Temperatures can swing from intensely hot during the day (90 degrees fahrenheit) to considerably cooler at night (50 degrees fahrenheit) over much of the grouing season. Grapes need these cold nights to maintain their acidity while fully developing their flavors.

 and Charles Smith (of K Vintners, Magnificent Wine Co. and Charles Smith Wines). Their collaboration--aptly named Charles and Charles--has yielded a single vineyard dry rosé from the Wahluke Slope of Washington State.
Smith made this 2008 rosé of syrah from the Talcott Vineyard from the Wahluke Slope (AVA) in the traditional Provencal way--grapes picked at the early edge of ripeness, sent straight to the press without any extended cold soak, and fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks at cooler temperatures. New World fruit, Old World methods, what's not to like?

 and a late harvest to produce the ripest fruit, and there is virtually no intervention in the winemaking and bottling with no filtration.

 star Gerard Bertrand inherited his passion for wine and his love for the Languedoc region from his father. Today, Gerard Bertrand owns 5 estates in the finest wine-growing areas of the Languedoc and each vineyard expresses the individual distinctiveness of the region.
Since Roman times this region has been known for quality wines. A letter has even been found from Ciceron to the tax officer Fonteleus, criticizing him for having levied too many taxes on the fine wines from Cella Vinaria, the"wine cellar", from which the name La Liviniere would come.
Vineyards for this wine are located 150 meters above sea level on numerous parcels of Syrah, Grenache Noir, Mourvedre as well as old Carignan vines. The vines are spread out over two terroirs of the appellation La livinere, the gritty limestone of the Causse and the round pebbles of the ancient quaternary terraces.

Lewis is a small, family-owned vineyard that has been our primary source for Syrah since Januik Winery was founded in 1999. They consider it to be one of the best Syrah vineyards in the state; yields are consistently low and the fruit quality is consistently high. This is an aromatic, expressive wine, supple and generous, and loaded with plum, black cherry, cassis and spice.

The property at 820 Mill Creek Road where the winery sits was homesteaded in 1853 with the adjacent farmhouse built in 1872. The winery grounds with Titus Creek flowing through the lawn and the old pioneer planted trees, is a little slice of heartland Americana. Charles Smith, proprietor and winemaker, comes to Walla Walla after 11 years in Scandanavia. Originally from northern California, he has been involved with wine personally and professionally his whole life. K Vintners is producing wines from 2 distinctive viticultural zones: Wahluke Slope and Walla Walla Valley. Each of these areas are unique and awesome for Syrah and the Field Blends produced. In April '02 two seperate blocks of vineyards were planted to Syrah adjacent to the winery in the rocky dry creek beds that run through K Vintners property.

A grower since 1971, his first vineyard purchases were a microscopic half acre each in Côte Blonde and in La Landonne on the Côte Brune.
The real breakthrough came when his father-in-law, Albert Dervieux-Thaize retired in 1990, followed by his uncle Marius Gentaz-Dervieux three years later. Between these two legendary growers, Rostaing acquired over ten acres of very old vines in some of the appellation’s top sites. The vineyard expansion also enabled René to quit his day job in 1991, and to devote himself full time to winemaking. Today, Rostaing can boast 20+ acres of the finest vineyards in and around Côte-Rôtie. The wealth of vineyard holdings results in an astonishing array of wines.
"Tangy and pure, with violet, white pepper and black cherry notes that run through a long, sanguine finish. Drink now through 2011. 1,500 cases made." Wine Spectator, 89 points

The fruit was sourced from five vineyards encompassing several AVAs and includes 3% Cabernet Sauvignon in the final blend. Ninety percent of the wine was aged for 18 months in small French oak.

After purchasing a 210-acre estate in Napa Valley's Stags Leap District, the Shafer family faced the arduous task of replanting the existing vineyards, which dated to the 1920s, and terracing the steep and rocky hillsides, eventually expanding vineyard acreage to its current 50 acres.
Doug Shafer became winemaker in 1983 after graduating from the University of California at Davis with a degree in enology and viticulture. A year later Elias Fernandez joined the winery as assistant winemaker. Together Doug and Elias have worked closely to forge the Shafer style of quality, consistency and elegance.
This wine honors long-time Shafer Winemaker Elias Fernandez and his relentless pursuit of quality. Sourced from ridgetop and foothills vineyards adjacent to the southern border of Stags Leap District, the grapes for Relentless are a "field blend" of Syrah and Petite Sirah.

 belonged to the Ghibelline family of the Lords of Montespertoli. In 1393, with the end of the Alberti family line, it was acquired by the Machiavelli family.
Since 1997, the wines produced in Montespertoli have had their own quality certification within the Chianti area: "Chianti Montespertoli". This allows to set apart the wines of the various Chianti sub-areas in a clearer way (e.g., Classico, Colli Senesi, Rufina, etc.). The Chianti Montespertoli can be produced only in the territory of the Montespertoli Borough, which is the smallest of the eight Chianti production sub-areas.
Since 2000 Castello sonnino has started and developed a very strict collaboration with the famous Italian oenologist : Stefano Chioccioli. The Sonnino Castle owns around 30% of the vineyards belonging to the Chianti Montespertoli DOCG area. Out of the 200 hectares of the estate, 46 are planted with grapevines and 15 with olives.
