Herman Story

Nuts & Bolts California Syrah 2013

oh... Oh... OH... this just took a wrench to my hedonism dial. And it makes me wonder if Russell From tripped and accidentally dropped a jug of creme soda extract into the tank, and then said "fuck it... we're good."

I can imagine this is what it would have been like to be front row for AC/DC at Oakland Coliseum in July of 1979 (They released Highway to Hell the next week, and I was 11 days old). Only, you were listening to Wagner on headphones.

The undercurrent is deceptively strong, and distinctly Northern Rhone. Like snorting a violet flavored vitamin in a horse barn just before you dig into the charcuterie plate in front of you. I'm stopping, but this wine just keeps going.

We should probably have drunk this twenty years ago, but the wine is still having a respectable old age (hope I will be able to say the same)! We bought this after drinking an earlier vintage of the same wine in Florence our first trip to Italy, in 1978, when the grapes were still on the vine....
