Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2006 release of the Head Honcho is a composite of Syrah's from Three Creek, Laetitia, Larner, Whitehawk and Watch Hill vineyards made by McPrice Myers Wine Co. and Herman Story Wines. This ultra dark, powerfully constructed Syrah offers up a whopping nose of dense raspberry, boysenberry, black berry fruit and blood orange. Wrapped in floral scents of lavender, lilac and violets which are rounded out with spice notes of black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg, ripe olive and sweet mint. Weighty in the mouth with dense, pure fruit, great acidity and robust tannins, the long finish shows bright red fruit notes of dried cranberry, sour cherry and boysenberry buried in spice and sweet milk chocolate. Always our biggest and boldest, but not ever a bank-buster, enjoy this complex wine as it opens up and shows even more layers of aromas.

    The 2006 Head Honcho, a deep, full-bodied, broadly-flavored Syrah offering copious quantities of creme de cassis, blackberries, charcoal, and barbecue smoke. Richly fruity with a lush texture and sweet tannin, it can be enjoyed over the next 4-5 years.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

The largest and perhaps most varied of California’s wine-growing regions, the Central Coast produces a good majority of the state's wine. This vast California wine district stretches from San Francisco all the way to Santa Barbara along the coast, and reaches inland nearly all the way to the Central Valley.

Encompassing an extremely diverse array of climates, soil types and wine styles, it contains many smaller sub-AVAs, including San Francisco Bay, Monterey, the Santa Cruz Mountains, Paso Robles, Edna Valley, Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Maria Valley.

While the Central Coast California wine region could probably support almost any major grape varietiy, it is famous for a few Central Coast reds and whites. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel are among the major ones. The Central Coast is home to many of the state's small, artisanal wineries crafting unique, high-quality wines, as well as larger producers also making exceptional wines.
