Sigi Hiss – Brunello di Montalcino. Alles andere als Mainstream. Starker Tobak. Wenn es sich dann noch um den Greppo von Biondi-Santi aus einem großen Jahr handelt- ja dann……… 1985er Greppo

by Louis Villard in California, and Adam Lechmere – Excessive planting of Syrah since the late 1990s has resulted in under-par wines and consumer confusion, California’s Rhone veterans have said. Paso Robles in Central California recently hosted some 130 producers for the 19th annual Hospice du Rhône.
Crowds of over 2000 were greeted by California producers accompanied by wineries as far afield as Château la Nerth in Châteauneuf-du-Pape to Barossa’s Torbreck – about 30% of the wineries attending were foreign. This year’s auction took in a total of US$77,000 from the 20 donated lots, but despite healthy attendance numbers and the festive atmosphere there was concern for the future of California Syrah from some of the State’s earliest growers of the grape.
‘Consumers are put off before they have a chance to really see what Syrah is capable of doing,’ Randall Grahm of Santa Cruz winery Bonny Doon, one of the most prolific and renowned producers of Rhone varietal wines in California, told Decanter.com.
