Every grape came from our Property; the fruit was made into wine on our property, then the wine was aged, bottled and cellared here until it leaves our home for yours.

The current release of GlenLyon Estate Syrah is, again, a Classic! Very reminiscent of the 2003 Vintage… complex, elegant, supple and harmonious with hints of red raspberries, cinnamon, cocoa powder and bitter-sweet chocolate. The fruit, tannins and alcohol are in perfect harmony. This is a big wine, round and rich without being overbearing. You’re gonna LOVE it!

GlenLyon only grows Syrah on the Estate, so the grapes for the ten barrels of the current release of Hog Wilde Chardonnay came from a three and a half acre vineyard owned and operated by Parmelee-Hill in the Southern portion of Sonoma Valley. We made the grapes into wine here at GlenLyon and then barrel fermented the Chardonnay in both neutral and 20% new French Oak barrels. It is a mouth watering, creamy, acid balanced, lemon zest Chardonnay and was only allowed to complete 20% malolactic fermentation so that the fruit was allowed to shine. The fruit made such a wonderful wine that, for the first time, we have had the name "Parmelee-Hill" added to the label, giving the bottle its own vineyard designation.

The current release is Hog Wilde Chardonnay at its best and is a terrific alternate to those HeavyButterHugeOakTreeCalifornia Chardonnays that all those PseudoEnophillicBloviatedPeople tend to drink. Only 244 Cases were made.

Every grape for the three barrels of the 2004 GlenLyon Estate Syrah Port came from the vines at GlenLyon, hand harvested ten days after our regular Syrah harvest was completed. After you open the sleek, tall, silkscreened 375ml black bottle, you'll notice the wonderful blackberry jam tastes and non-cloying aromas of fortified Syrah grapes. (Squire again slept in the winery during the night of alcohol addition, setting his alarm every hour so that he could stop fermentation at precisely the right sugar level....) Suzy loves it and Squire says he'd pour it on waffles every morning at breakfast but it would make his work day too short.... There were only 150 cases made and it is our best yet!
