The 2019 Chopping Block is a gorgeous blend of 52% Syrah, 31% Mourvèdre and 17% Grenache grown on limestone that buzzes with energetic acidity. Medium ruby-purple, it's scented of crushed cherries and iron, with nuances of mint chocolate, licorice and game meats. The full-bodied palate offers finely detailed, savory dark fruits, a plush, rounded feel and loads of spices on the uplifted finish. ... More details

More tobacco, peppery herbs, graphite, asphalt, and crushed stone notes emerge from the 2019 Chopping Block, another rich, powerful, yet still fresh and lively wine from winemaker Connor McMahon. It's going to round into form with just a year in bottle, and I wouldn't put it past this beauty to still be drinking nicely in a decade. The blend is 42% Syrah, 31% Mourvèdre, and 17% Grenache, brought up in 50% new French oak. It has a decade or more of prime drinking ahead of it.

Plush and elegantly structured, with expressive black cherry, mocha and dried orange zest flavors that glide toward refined tannins. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2027. 300 cases made.

Full-bodied with lots of berry, dark-chocolate and meat character. Peppery. Round, juicy tannins. Flavorful finish. A rich and powerful wine. Bit old-school, but attractive in this genre. 52% syrah, 31% mourvedre and 17% grenache. Drink now.

Region: California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Country: United States

The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
