The Wine

This wine is made from estate grapes on vines nearing their 40th birthday. When vines reach that age, they tend to produce intensely-flavored, complex fruit without high alcohol. This is just such a wine! Look for dark red fruit, dark bramble berries, and a cabinet full of baking spices and fresh-ground black pepper. Medium-boided, this is that rare California Zin that has impeccable table manners - by that I mean, it pairs well with food.

The Winery

Now in its second generation, Sierra Starr Winery has a tasting room just a block away from our Grass Valley wine shop. And winemaker Jackson Starr has garnered well-deserved praise for his winemaking abilities, and as a certified Sommelier, wine judge, and critic. And whenever Jackson joins our tastings, we're treated to his curious mind and experienced palate - a combination that makes for a most enjoyable evening.

Sierra Starr grows their fruit organically in their estate-owned, dry-farmed vineyards. And their solar-powered winery is built on two levels to allow gravity to move the wine from tank to tank (or barrel) instead of deploying mechanical pumps - better for their electric bill as well as the wine. Mom and Pop - Phil and Anne Starr - are still involved, but every time I see them I hear more and more about the lure of retirement. I don't believe they'll ever fully retire, but it must be a great relief knowing their baby is in good hands with the second generation of Starrs.
