Grandeur is rooted in the belief that farming organically allows us to grow grapes that are in harmony with the land and craft wines that are alive in flavor. The inspiration for Grandeur comes from our first certified organic vineyard. A remote site nestled against the foothills, it has at its center a single oak tree. The gnarled trunk of this ancient Blue Oak houses a resident bee colony, an eloquent example of the symbiosis found in nature. Standing in the vineyard, the beauty and quietude make you feel as if time hasn’t touched this place. It has stood just like this, in all its grandeur, for thousands of years.
A full-bodied blend with succulent notes of black fruit, our Grandeur Red Blend is sophistication at its purest. Indulge in aromas of tart blackberry, elderberry, and juicy plum, while warm hints of ripe fig and vanilla bean waft from the glass. Structured tannins bring balance to the sumptuous fruit of the blend and complement the lingering sweetness from French oak. Pour it as you pull dinner off the grill and savor it long into the evening.
Vineyard
Our holistic approach to organic farming sees each vineyard as an entire ecosystem where soil, trees, vines, insects, and wildlife exist together to the benefit of all. Nestled against the southernmost foothills of the Santa Lucia Range in the Hames Valley AVA, Grandeur’s vineyard home is ideally situated for growing Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah grapes. With long, warm days and chilly nights, this breathtaking site is ideal for the development of organic, high-quality fruit and bold, fruit-forward, complex wines.
Winemaking
As early morning mist blankets the Monterey foothills, our organically grown Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are handpicked, destemmed, and crushed to release their stunning, robust flavor. Fermented separately at warm temperatures using select organic yeast, each variety develops a distinctive character and complexity. Aged separately in French oak for 10 months, each component is tasted and approved by the winemaker to bring this bold blend together.

I was hoping to be able to write a review for this wine, but something was way off with the wine from the very first whiff.
The reviews for this, even the ones back in Casemates’ last offering of this in April, were all positive. It was supposed to be “full-bodied, with notes of tart blackberry, elderberry, and plum, balanced by hints of fig and vanilla from French oak.” What we had was a medium body wine with soured fruit aromas and earthy flavors with odd fruit flavors. I thought maybe it was just an extreme need to air, so I left it until the next day re-corked. Oh, it was so much worse. I tried – I really did! It turned my stomach.
Given the positive reviews everywhere else, it must be spoiled. I uploaded my pictures of it to contribute to what it looks like, but that is all I can do. I’m interested to hear from the other rats on this wine. I hope I wasn’t the only one. Please read the reviews from the last posting if not.

Scheid reminds me of the southern Oregon wine scene. We have ~150 “boutique” wineries, most of which utilize 3 custom crush operations to make their wines. As a result, most wines are comparatively indistinct.
