Randall Grahm Syrah Viognier 2011
About the wine
- A spicy, brambly red wine with 25% Viognier in the mix (a white grape in a red wine!) makes this blend surprisingly aromatic and uplifting.
- This is a blend that is very expensive in the Rhone (called Cote Rotie over there) but Randall's California experiments are a bargain price.
- This mix of grapes is really just wacky and it's a great opportunity to try something new and innovative.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Randall Grahm
- Randall is a downright celebrity winemaker. He created some very famous brands (Big House Red and Cardinal Zin) and he's received tons of attention, Hall of Fame inductions, and all manner of Lifetime Achievement Awards for his passion for making authentic Californian wines... he even has an asteroid named in his honor.
- But even a famous winemaker like Randall had a hard time selling the wines he made - so he turned to Angel funding to support his pioneering efforts to discover true Californian terroir.
- Randall's reputation precedes him and we expect these wines to sell like hotcakes so add a bottle to your basket now or you might never get a taste!
