Thank goodness they still deliver during the Coronavirus pandemic.

This is extra good tonight. I was really very close to Soda Streaming that Wheeler Farms Rosé.

😍 this N/V Rosé and it has been a lot longer than normal. Close to withdrawals. 💉 — 5 years ago

No simile, nor metaphor, nor purple language can do this wine justice. It is a tangible piece of California history and winemaking in this country. The first Syrah to be produced and labeled as such. Grapes were harvested at 22.5 Brix and that acidity gave this wine a gorgeous vibrancy that was utterly surprising and totally pleasurable to drink. The grapes were a trial and planted in 1959 by UC Davis at the Wheeler Farm vineyards. Upon release, marketing notes made comparisons to Petite Syrah because that variety was so much more familiar to the US market. I hope that I age as gracefully as this syrah, which was still ready to play hop scotch on the playground at 42 years old (which in wine years is like 105). — 6 years ago

Hats off to Lay & Wheeler, this own-brand Barolo is absolutely stupendous. Blown away by its complexity, well balanced in every sense with plenty of bright fruit, fierce tannin and bracing acidity. The most memorable wine I’ve had recently. Left wanting more. — 6 years ago

Tropical with merange, light lime, guava, lychee, and grassy undertones - wet rock minerality and a round plush mouthfeel backed by lively acidity and a mouth watering finish — 6 years ago

The body is leaner full and ruby, lush and elegant. Perfume fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, creamy raspberries, baked strawberries, mixed berry cola, soft baking spices. caramel, light volcanic minerals, soft leather, crushed dry rocks, tobacco leaf and fresh red & dark perfume floral bouquets. The acidity is perfect and medium balance is perfect. Nicely done.

Wheeler Farms was designed and built after Bart & Daphne Araujo sold Araujo to Chateau Latour. They spared no expense building their facilities and make 11 other labels there, including TOR.

This 17 Rosé is their first vintage and is a red blend.

Soft beautiful fruits, lean, watermelon, cherries, raspberries strawberries, peach, light beautiful minerality & spring flowers and pink roses. Beautiful acidity & finish. Nicely done.
