Producer Profile
Bonny Doon was initially an attempt to replicate Burgundy in the sunny climate of Central California. Owner Randall Graham quickly realized that replicating a more mediterranean region made far more sense, and he switched to Rhone varietals and a Chateneuf-du-Pape style of winemaking. This led him and a couple of other producers to be deemed the ‘Rhone Rangers’, leading a 1980s surge in popularity for Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault throughout Central California. This is one of the wines they’ve made since the beginning, and is a personal favorite of mine.
Tasting Notes
Heavily perfumed strawberry and raspberry (go-go-grenache!), eucalyptus, and maybe just a hint of red Mike and Ikes…
