RATINGS

97Vinous / IWC

Deep and wonderfully savory, with mind-blowing balance, the Titans has it all...so well-balanced...a fabulous wine in every way.

95The Wine Advocate

...pure violet perfume that floats across fresh blackcurrant fruit, plus notes of aniseed, chargrill and earth. The medium-bodied palate is firm, fresh, pure and perfumed, with a long, layered finish.

93James Suckling

...overtly savory nose of violet, black pepper and celery seed...the full bodied, fine-tannined palate is filled with succulent dark fruit and berries, as well as cocoa powder. Plenty of spice, too.

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Sonoma Coast

Sonoma Coast AVA runs from San Pablo Bay in the south to Mendocino County in the north. It includes 7,000 vineyard acres and earned AVA status in 1987. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean means it gets double the rainfall of nearby inland appellations and the ocean gives the appellation a relatively cool climate. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can thrive in these conditions, and there are numerous producers making critically acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

TYPE

Red Wine, Syrah (Shiraz)

This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
