| | “If Randall Grahm brought the flash to the Rhône movement, Steve Edmunds brought the soul, a framework for authenticity that faithfully served the movement through its early years and provided a kind of moral compass. His sensitivity translated effortlessly to his wines, in blends which reflected an authentic Côtes du Rhône charm, and in meditative Syrahs. The combination got to the heart of what the movement was about......a winemaking aesthetic that would become more refined and artistic as the years progressed. Steve Edmunds has always possessed a touch of the poet, but few winemakers to this day are as committed to what amounts to an artistic vision of winemaking.” -- Patrick J. Comiskey, American Rhone

2016 Edmunds St John Heart of Gold $288 case
51% Vermentino and 49% Grenache Blanc from Fenaughty Vineyard.
255 cases produced.
“Pale color, with a slight green cast. Intensely fresh, pretty aromas. Wonderful acidity, ‘Springy’, mouth-watering flavors. Grenache Blanc taking the lead this time around. Long, clean, immensely pleasing finish, featuring a silky, fleshiness, in a wine that seems, otherwise, nearly weightless. Seatbelts highly recommended!” —Steve Edmunds

| | 2016 Edmunds St John Amador County El Jalelo Shake Ridge Ranch $384 case
**NEW CUVEE**
One part each of Grenache, Tempranillo, and Mourvedre, and one-half part Graciano.
“2016 El Jaleo is a lightish ruby color, and at once fruity and earthy on the nose. It’s medium-bodied on the palate, with gently grippy tannins, and a high-toned array of flavors balancing fruity and savory, that linger impressively, and call for another taste, and another!” — Steve Edmunds |
| | 2015 Edmunds St John Rocks & Gravel $384 case
**LAST VINTAGE TO BE MADE**
260 cases produced
Syrah and Grenache from the Unti Vineyards located in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County. Grapes farmed practicing biodynamic viticulture.
“Lovely light purple-red. Fresh, penetrating nose, both floral and meaty, and showing savory spice, also. Very focused flavor impressions, mouth-watering, silky and fine. The finish is refreshing and long, engendering appetite. This is such a quiet, persistent wine, a real beauty.” — Steve Edmunds
