Proprietor and winemaker Russel P. From began Herman Story Wines in 2001 with 7 barrels stashed in his employer's cellar.  What started as a mosest homage to his rancher grnadfather has become a beacon to those seeking opulent, structured Syrah and Grenace. 750ml

• Winemaker Notes

"These fireworks have crossed three state lines in the back of a wood-paneled station wagon, because there’s no way you’re getting shown up by Jed Miller again. We’re talking strawberry strobes, blueberry bursts, and sweet basil flares, synchronized to AC/DC and the swoons of cul de sac housewives. After the chocolate ice cream melted and the headlight-illuminated volleyball winds down, you strike your match and the whole pile goes up in a shimmering blaze of glory.  Misdemeanors and lifetime block party bans be damned—that’s a show no one will forget!"
