One of the long time favorites in our red lineup has been Revelation - A Rhone style blend conceived during a visit and tasting of the many fantastic wines in Australia. Several years later, Gypsy was created as a counterpoint to Revelation; a true Rhone-styled blend inspired by the great wines of the Southern Rhone valley in France. We believe the 2005 vintage of Gypsy delivers on this vision. Lighter, elegant and imminently approachable, half of this wine is made from Mourvedre and Grenache - two of Chateauneuf du Pape's star grape varieties - with the other half made up of Syrah, Carignane and Petite Sirah. We have also incorporated fruit from our favorite vineyard sites in Santa Barbara County - Camp Four, Hampton, Paradise and Rodney's Vineyards.

The result is packed with black cherry, raspberry, cocoa, sandalwood, dried sage and incense aromas. Not to be outdone, the palate delivers robust flavors of dark chocolate, blackberry, black cherry, black pepper and vanilla. We're sure you'll enjoy this versatile wine as much as we do!
