2006 TOR Rock Hommage Allan Judge Family Vineyard

The 2006 Tor Rock Homage Allen Judge Family Vineyard, a Syrah, Grenache, Viognier blend (83%, 15%, and 2% respectively) possesses beautiful, sweet, bacon-infused blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with spring flower, truffle, and asphalt-like characteristics. Deep and ripe, with excellent balance, it should drink well for 4-6 years. Tor Kenward and his winemaker, Jeff Ames, have produced some breakthrough efforts in 2005 and 2006. A longtime executive at Beringer as well as a meticulous wine connoisseur who knows great wine as well as anybody, Kenward is carving out a superb reputation for wine quality. His total production is just under 2,500 cases, and the best way for consumers to purchase his wines is through the winery’s mailing list. His Chardonnays are superb. Kenward’s knowledge of northern California viticulture and vineyard sites has put him in the position to get great fruit, which has been translated into artisinal, hand-crafted wines.
