WTN: '00 Rocks and Gravel

Not to beat a dead horse but had this last night with pozole and really liked it. Reminded me of Otis Redding; wait, someone else has already said that. I was expecting something a little more rustic since I assumed it was a Southern Rhone Blend. Believe it is actually a grenach/syrah blend and I felt the syrah dominated. Deep dark red, very smooth with a really long finish. A lot going on with this wine but like most good drinks, nothing dominated, just lots of parts playing well together. I could easily drink this wine a couple nights a week. Bad news is that was my last bottle and you really need 5-10 years for most of Steve's serious wines, at least IMO.

Well if you need 5-10 then the 2003 R&G should be just coming into its own. If I can find mine I will open one & let you know.

Can you get older ESJ anywhere? I have a daughter in SC and I believe she can accept shipments. Of course I have to worry about the carrying charges.

Check MacArthur Beverage. I picked up a bottle of 1997 Parmelee-Hill Vineyard Syrah when I was there a few weeks past. There was more on the shelf. Unfortunately my bottle was corked.

SC= Santa Cruz??

I find Steve's wines can languish far longer on the shelves of stores than other CA wines, for some odd reason. What's nice about this when you find them is that the store has become your own personal wine cellar and the wines are (usually) ready to drink. Of course, many of his wines have weird distribution and are not always easy to find.

What can I say? I'm a weird guy! (If there's a wine you can't find, let me know,and who knows, maybe we can figure it out.)
