Welcome

The Damian Rae 2009 Syrah is here!

Not sure what to pair with that big juicy steak?  Or leg of lamb? Or BBQ ribs?  Your problem is solved with the launch of the Damian Rae 2009 Syrah (Santa Barbara County).  This beauty from White Hawk Vineyard is big, bold, rich and intense, with dark berry, cola, spice and pepper flavors.  It has big lush tannins and a long, smooth, lingering finish.  Barrel-aged for a full 19 months, this now is now ready to enjoy with your favorite dish, or it can be cellared and savored in the years ahead.  Order it today on our Wine Shop page.

In other news...the Wine Enthusiast has joined other respected reviewers and praised the Damian Rae 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley):  "Pretty good stuff!  Brimming with ripe blackberry, cherry and raspberry flavors, enhanced with sweet, vanilla-scented smoky oak."   This beauty also won a Silver Medal at the San Francisco International Wine Competition as well as a Silver Medal at the Beverage Tasting Institute's World Wine Championship. World renown wine critic James Suckling (former Senior Editor and European Bureau Chief of Wine Spectator) gave it 88 points, praising it as “soft and fruity with straightforward berry and chocolate character.”  Order it today on our Wine Shop page.
