2018 āEl Primitivoā Primitivo, Hill of Graceland, Paso Robles
Tasting Notes
A floral and fruit spectrum explodes out of the nose, the palate is bogglingly rich, and the finish surprisingly soft with less heat than expected, though I donāt claim it bears much resemblance to lowfat milk and would advise against pairing with ghost peppers. If youāre a native Californian, perhaps nothing stronger than avocado. Iām not certain of the wineās longevity, though since youāll only have two bottles at most I think you know what to do.
Vintage/Winemaker Notes
Finally, this beast of a kissinā cousin of Zinfandel has lived up to its potential! One of the more difficult varieties grown on the property; head trained and dry-farmed - to give the vines a mere sip after harvest, as it often doesnāt rain until November or December, would mean hand watering with an aging Polaris (the off-road gas engined golf cart, not the submarine launched ballistic missile) and a portable water tank heavier than the brakes would tolerate. So we donāt. Over the last decade, several times these grapes have not fully ripened, or a sluggish fermentation has stuck with over a percent RS, or thereās been something else I didnāt care for - in which case I forego bottling any for myself, and graciously present the wine to GWH, who invariably asks me to figure out what he should do with it and then - pretty please with not enough or too much sugar on top - do it for him.
Not this time! Nearly thirty percent sugar at harvest, it fermented quickly at first, then slowly all through winter and spring, down to a third of a percent RS, where it stopped a fortnight before bottling - functionally dry and at 35 proof. (Yes, thatās an authentic, unadjusted 17.5% and no, I didnāt fortify or chaptalize, and I donāt rely on neighborhood yeast.)

2018 āTNTā Tannat, Hill of Graceland, Estate Bottled
Tasting Notes
The fortuitous location of the vineyard and our donāt-try-to-squeeze-every-drop-out-of-the-must-you-beano-abstaining-cog methods show that this variety isnāt naturally or unnaturally tannic or rustic, just because it sounds and was once made that way in a far corner of France: (Mad I ran, from the first I tasted.) In the paws of our cellar monkey, itās closer to a lost Bordeaux variety, without the leafiness; while it rivals our Zinfandel in focus and purity, it has more weight with lower alcohol (30 proof). Two-thirds aged in new oak barrels from the forests below Draculaās castle. I canāt explain the label now, or never, and tomorrow will be too late. Itās explosively serious wine.

2018 āDynamite Hillā Tempranillo, Hill of Graceland, Estate Bottled
Tasting Notes
Parsimonious plants on a savage slope, probably the steepest on the Hill of Graceland - not difficult to grow but a real Pendejo to pick. Spicier than the Tannat that crowns the hill and often complements it, but itās more than distinct enough to not blend them every vintage - I kept the wines apart this year rather than fusing them. We have no āhouse styleā: within the limits of scientific enology (is that Fecaldynamic salad dressing really $140 a bottle?) fine wine should be unique, varied, interesting. Interesting less than fascinating and delicious, though. About the label: we still havenāt bombed the damn rock.

2018 āBLACK ZEPPELIN IVā Petite Sirah, San Luis Obispo/Calaveras
Vintage/Winemaker Notes
Though legally (77%) and . . . tannicly . . . Petite Sirah from a high Sierra Foothills vineyard I canāt rat out, the remaining Various Vinifera Varieties from the Hill of Griefland help tame its structure and add complexity to a variety thatās Generally and admirably - (Admiralty?) known for firepower. It really should say ā29ā proof on the label, so itās the only one of these wines under 15% alcohol - but itās quite extracted, complex, and structured to last as long as I do. Can I call it a cellar candidate? Well, you may only get a bottle, as I donāt have enough Primitivo to go around but have even less of this oneā¦

2017/8 āLE CADEAU DU ROIā - Syrah, Paso Robles/Calaveras
Vintage/Winemaker Notes
My pet project of the year: a kissinā cousin of La Mort Du Roi, 34 proof of Hill of Graceland and Syrahs with other little bits and pieces. Thereās whole lotta things going on inside the bottle. (Why isnāt Jerry Lee Lewis on the label? Thatās easy, but who is? Nobody knows the man in the blue suit, and yet heās the only one watching le cadeau de Cadillac). The wineās really spectacular, though it will benefit from as much time as you can stand to give it. I know $60 is a swanky price, but rather than drone on defensively about what it costs to make, or what my risibly rich or studiedly rustic neighbors, are charging for their best wine - some of which might come within thrown-wine glass distance of Le Cadeau. This āmightā be my best wine of the last few vintages.

@msten Dude!
I canāt recall when I first heard that one. Iād love to claim that it was Skip Spence after successfully! panhandling me, but I donāt remember what all he said. I didnāt know who the acid casualty was until somebody told me later that day.
@MarkDaSpark are you not asking for special treatment here? I am neither Elvis nor privy to the techniques by which the Sonoma sibs walk the tightrope I set out for themā¦
Iāve opened a few āvery last bottlesā of '05-'09 reds recently, but not that one. Nothing was shot or āon the downhill slopeā in old school parlance- the damn '07 Arroyo Seco Syrah was still just a bit too tannic for the 3 tons/acre fruit it has, and was definitely overpressed after fermentation - still pissed off about that. The PSs were NOT as tannic as that originally, so impure guess says if you have only one bottle of '09 open it now.
Medium dark red, more cab/zin than pinot light
Light purple almost strawberry-ish tint to it
Very dry, low sugar low alcohol feel, kind of sour, unlike anything I can recall drinking before, zin-like raisin smell but sharper/bitter
Not high tannin or alcohol feel, which is kind of surprising now that i can see the Alcohol: 15.2% (the label lists zero details about the wine, period)
Seeing the online notes of Bordeaux variety, I would say yes, but much better than any Bordeaux I have had (mostly Costco labels), no leafiness (I am not big on dirt / nature reds), definitely more in the zin / tempranillo range, but less bomb / jammy and more smooth, which I guess is the Bordeaux side rounding it out.
Not knowing what varietal of wine I was receiving, I had to make short notice of what to enjoy it with
Had a high end bistro brewery burger with tots, and later on with ye ole favorite m&mās
Popped it early afternoon to let it breathe after itās long bumpy boxed journey to hot SoCal
Definitely smoothed out
I would say jammy but not in a big bomb zin way but in a smooth dry sour jammy way
You can definitely drink this with food, meat, high end date-night quality dinner, but it is so smooth you can enjoy solo
I would most certainly buy and drink this again. 20 years buying and enjoying wine and had never heard of Tannat before. Glad I know now.
Highly recommend, at least for the TNT Tannat bottle. If this was a 4-6 pack of Tannat I would buy instantly.
Thank you for the opportunity.
@Gunn_showw
Gunnshow
Why, thank you! It is rather high in acid perception, and as we have two different āblocksā* of Tannat with different vine ages, exposures and training that I pick on the same day there is something of a Zinfandel-like effect: a higher range than usual of ripeness: some clusters are near raisins, and some nowhere near. Mean Brix was 26, but a fifth or so was over 28 and another fifth under 24.
āblocksā ha ha: two rows 750ā long on 12-20% slopes along the top of the main Syrah block, and a several 50-75ā long rows, older and shaggier, on very steep ground near the top of the north hill.
Had the opportunity to sample the Dynamite Hill Tempranillo last night. SWMBO right out the gate said āOo I like this. Might be too sweet for you.ā
Iām generally a big fan of tempranillo, but this is not like any otherās Iāve had. Itās more reminiscent of a jammy Zinfandel to me. Very strong blackberry with a bit of black pepper mixed in. Characteristic of most east side Paso Robles wines, ripe fruit. I donāt think this has enough acidity to hold up in the cellar, but itās very tasty right now. If youāre a fan of jammy wine youāll love this one.
@nostrom0 It wasnāt in new oak or pressed hard; and itās young which also highlights the fruit. East side, not even! Let me see if I can post a picā¦
Had to buy. I opened up a Zeppelin a few months agoā¦donāt remember exactly, but I think a 2009 Black Zeppelin from the old siteā¦and it struck me that this was one of the most well-made wines Iāve ever had.
Sure hope I get a PS!
@losthighwayz To allocate between the people who really want the Primitivo and those who really want the Petite, well, āThatās not my department, says Swillhelm von Brown!ā
Someone could probably figure it out. The man in the blue suit on the Le Cadeau label certainly could; he was smarter than Einstein.
Bought the caseā¦selfishly for just myself. When I purchased it I ASSUMED that when it said a 3x MIX of the following:2018 āEl Primitivoā Primitivo, Hill of Graceland, Paso Robles or 2018 āBlack Zeppelin IVā Petite Sirah, San Luis Obispo/Calaveras, that I would receive BOTH. Sad to say I wanted to try the Petite Sirah, but received none. All three were the Primitivo
I guess I should have put more emphasis on the OR and not the MIX.
Sad face I totally missed this offer and it wasnāt shipping to NH - if anyone in New England has a few bottles theyād be willing to shareā¦Iād be interested
The Tannat included in this case is as close to perfect wine as Iāve ever had. I absolutely loved it. Nearly as crazy about the Tempranillo. I was surprised at how unimpressed i was with the Cadeau du Roi. Nothing bad but just didnāt knock my socks off. So glad i got the whole case greedily for myself.

I would have been all over the case, if it would have included the PS for sure, and not just a chance.
Now if it had been one of each (PS & Primativo) with the 3rd bottle being one or the other, that would have worked.

@ZeppelinWinery
Not at all. Just pointing out that there might have been a better way to split on the case.
Special treatment might have been pointing out all the different horizontal and vertical Tannats (and some other unique varietals) Iāve been buying.
@MarkDaSpark check my gathering post
