A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This is the wnry of KurtBeitler. He is of the Wagner/Caymus family & originally planted their PN vnyd up on TaylorRidge on a pergola system. He lives up on TaylorRidgeRd and originally made the Syrah from AlRago's QueSyrahVnyd after EhrenJordan dropped them. He also makes PN & CHard from VinceRago's vnyd just down the road to the west. He established the EnglishHill vnyd to the S of Freestone, overlooking the SantaRosaVlly. He has a tasting room in the village of Occidental.
I like Kurt's Syrahs best of all his wines, though he does also make Zin & Chard that are also quite good. I belive this '15 was a blend of his last brls of QueSyrah Syrah afore it was sold to Arnot-Roberts, and his English Hill Syrah.
Very good wines that should be better known.
