Their choice of growing slowly is to ensure they never compromise their ideal of sourcing exceptional fruit and handcrafting exceptional wines.

2004 Kenneth-Crawford Blue Fin Santa Ynez Valley Syrah $34.89
The Blue Fin’s blend is comprised of 50% Larner Vineyard, 20% Purisima Mountain, 20% Stolpman Syrah, and 10% Lafond Syrah. The nose has a core of dark fruits - blueberry, blackberry and black cherry.  There is also the telltale cool climate profile with black pepper, earth, tobacco leaf and a slate-like mineral component.  At first this wine is sleek and mouthwatering, but at its core is a rich fleshy texture that is certain to develop and move more center stage as the wine evolves.  We build our wines to last and this one is no exception. Production: 299 cases
2004 Kenneth-Crawford Purisima Mountain Vineyard Santa Ynez Syrah $39.89 Limited
The Purisima Mountain is a structured and elegant Syrah that is classically dark purple in color with aromas of dark rich fruits -blueberries, cassis and blackberry.  There is also that wonderful earthy component with mineral, brine, pepper and game that bring There is a depth and intensity to this wine.  The mouth-feel is plush with sweet fruit fighting for attention with a firm backbone of acid and tannin. Production: 89 cases

2004 Kenneth-Crawford Babcock Vineyard Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir $44.89
The Babcock Vineyard Pinot Noir is very much in the Santa Rita Hills profile.  It is dark and deeply colored.  It has a perfume of dark, earthy spice and dark berry fruit.  After a few moments in the glass the wine begins to open and show some brighter raspberry and cherry notes.  On the palate you can almost feel the blend of clones as the Pommard envelopes your mouth in silky richness and the 115 firms-up the finish and leaves you with a mouthwatering dose of acid and tannins. Production: 199 cases
2004 Kenneth-Crawford Clos Pepe Vineyard Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir $49.89 Limited
This wine is a real monster!  The Clos Pepe is an unbelievably tightly knit and spicy wine that shows so much earthiness you may believe it’s from Burgundy!  There are enticing floral aromas of cherries, rose petals, and lavender, but there is also a darker side, a spicy, mushroom and earth component that make the wine seem more serious.  The flavors play out on the palate but they now vie for attention with a structure that is like a marathon runner -lean, sinewy, and muscular.  This wine seems serious about the long haul! Production: 69 cases
