Dear Wine Lover, We have received our
precious allotment of Michael Bonaccorsi wines. We can offer you limited quantities
of the following… 2003 Bonaccorsi Larner Vineyard Santa Ynez Syrah $49.89 Wine Spectator 93 Points!!! Cropped at two tons to the acre, a
blend of the best clones the Larner’s have to offer, 383 and Estrella. Fermented on native yeast with 5% Viognier,
aged 15 months in 65% new French oak. This is the more delicate of the two
syrahs. 250 cases were produced. A rich, syrupy
style, with loads of blackberry and boysenberry jam flavors that are intense
and concentrated. Remarkably deep and penetrating, the flavors finish with a
strong burst of richness and complexity. The tannins are ripe and plush.
Drink now through 2010. -WS 2003 This is what a syrah should be,
big and powerful. Fermented on native yeast, aged 18 months in 90% new French
oak. 220 cases were produced. The blockbuster of the
group, impenetrable, opaque black-red to the rim. Intense mineral nose of
iron ore, blueberry jam, graphite, plus complex accents of blood, beast of burden(oh peter) and laurel. Fruitier in the mouth, with more
confiture of black raspberry and blueberry,
marjoram, roasted herbs de Provence. Muscular, dry
and full-bodied, well balanced, surprisingly supple tannins on a smooth
finish. -Peter Palmer, Wine Director
of Farallon Restaurant, San Francisco 2003 Bonaccorsi Fiddlestix Vineyard This wine reflects the beauty of
the Santa Rita hills appellation. Fermented on native yeast, aged entirely in
new French oak. 499 cases were produced. Rich, ruby red with garnet
highlights. Initial nose of ripe cherry, cured meat and damp forest floor. As
the wine opens, subtle vanilla, toast and dried autumn leaves add to the
complexity. On the palate, medium bodied, with boysenberry, shades of black
peppercorn with an alluring savory quality. Usually the most structured of
the pinots, the tannins on the finish are firm but well integrated. The
acidity is bright and natural. -Peter Palmer, Wine Director of Farallon Restaurant, San Francisco Please do not respond to this email,
