The Timbervine vineyard is named for the dense, mixed forest surrounding the dangerously steep mountain that the vineyard sits upon. Like this forest, the wine is a dense mixture of aromatic species—mostly the thick, dark, brooding type. Take a deep breath, and scents of the forest mix with aromas of black raspberry, black cherry and rose petal. There are black fruit, black pepper and savory and earth notes on the palate. This is an elegant wine that’s simultaneously bracing and firm.
Black raspberry, black cherry, plum, rose petal, forest floor and black pepper.
As a teenager, Fred Scherrer made wine from his parent’s vineyards, with adult supervision of course! Not surprisingly, he went off to get a UC Davis degree while gaining experience at a Sonoma winery doing the dirtiest and most menial jobs imaginable. After ten years at Dehlinger Winery, Fred went on his own, again using grapes from his parent’s vineyard, which he was allowed to delay payment on until the cash flow from wine sales arrived—Mom and Dad to the rescue. Today, he makes 12 different wines amounting to 5,000 cases and is grateful to his parents and mentors for their support.
Syrah’s classic partner at the dinner table is lamb, which offers an earthy flavor that echoes the grape’s savory side, but it will also work well with game or pork especially if there are anything mushrooms in the mix. I like the Syrah with my Pork Chops with Toasted Spice Rub and Apple Dressing.
“Close friends contribute to our personal growth. They also contribute to our personal pleasure, making the music sound sweeter, the wine taste richer, the laughter ring louder because they are there.” ~ Judith Viorst
