Parsonage Village Vineyard
|
|
At Parsonage, the focus is on quality over quantity; the vineyard is managed to yield only two and a half to three tons per acre. At full production, the winery will generate 1,200 to 1,400 cases per year.
In the Fall of 2000, the first small crop was harvested. This vintage, consisting of 200 cases of a Syrah and a Cabernet Sauvignon, sold out in 4 months.
The 2001 through 2004 harvests each netted 15 to 20 tons of exquisitely ripe fruit, a volume sufficient to produce some 950 to 1,200 cases of estate wines. All five vintages, 2000 to 2004, share a common denominator of elegance, complexity and balance derived from the unique terroir of the Parsonage hillside vineyard. The trend from 2000 to 2004 has been toward a more powerful structural base and a broader and deeper level of nuance and complexity.

Estate "Carmelstone" Reserve Syrah
Coming off the upper block of the hillside this Syrah is jet black and inky dark and is sublime in everyway! Not much more to add, this is one of the finest American Syrahs I’ve tasted to date, with lush intense fruit and fantastic depth and complexity. It really doesn’t get much better than this, I think even those top producers in Cote-Rotie would be shocked and awed! Blueberry compote, cassis, cherry liqueur with lovely hints of pepper, exotic spices, mineral and sweet new wood all add up to perfection. Syrah fans line up now!

Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Sweet cassis and perfume hit you straight away and never leave you all the way to the finish. Deep color and thick textures get your attention quickly and then the pure black fruits grab you with lush currants, black cherry, blackberry, and plum flavors that are both rich and focused with seamless layering. This wine has power and firm tannins that are well mannered, but noticeable and in your face at this time. The level of acidity keeps everything lively and this wine sings and dances like a showgirl, but should get really classy and refined with time, becoming a true diva!

Estate Merlot
This is a silky and warm wine that shows rich cherry, earthy plum and tangy red fruit with notes of spice, cedar and a touch of vanilla. This is smooth, but not soft or weak in anyway with good depth and tannins. This is going to be a real gem and will be a crowd pleaser straight away on release.
|
Estate Syrah
This wine is a star in the making and has free flowing flavors of boysenberry, red cherry, plum and a blast of blueberry along with a bright pepper note and a touch of vanilla. This Syrah comes from the lower block and has an Aussie flair to it and jammy fruit that leaves a lingering and lovely hint of sweetness.
|
Snosrap Cyrano Red Table Wine
his red blend is a wonderful semi-Bordeaux style wine with lovely ripe fruit and super balance. This has 75% Merlot, 22 % Cabernet Sauvignon a touch of Syrah and it all works well together producing a wine with a sweet nose of cherry liqueur and a round plumy body. Fresh crushed berries, plum and cherry fruits with hints of game, cedar, spice and new oak notes.
