Central Coast Group Project Description
TASTING NOTES BY ANTONIO GALLONI "The 2013 Syrah Hey, Ruben… is a very unusual wine. Done with fully destemmed fruit from Stolpman, the 2013 is gracious, perfumed and nuanced, none qualities that I tend to associate with this Ballard Canyon site. Scott Sampler gave the wine 108 days on the skins, which is very, very long by any standard in any region in the world. Ripe in its first approach, and yet also remarkably fresh, the Hey, Ruben... is seriously quirky and intriguing. Dollops of Petite Sirah, Roussanne and Viognier round out the blend."
