Robert Rex, winemaker, has posted four videos
Walking Sonoma Vineyards
Robert examines, tastes and talks about the vineyards and
the best time to pick the grapes during the harvest of 2008
The shape of wine, parts 1, 2 and 3
Robert describes the flavor profiles in Red Rex,
Shiraz Cuvée and DRX
in terms of the where and how the flavors of the component varietals
in these exceptional blends fit on your palate.
You will never taste wine the same again.

Here's the state of our art
and our passion.
|
DRX is a Meritage, which means that it is made exclusively from
Bordeaux varietal grapes. We have vineyards in Sonoma, Napa
and Clear Lake providing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet
Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot for this blend.
By the time the wine is in the bottle
we, the winemakers, have tasted it thousands of times. The
individual lots imprint on us with their special flavors
and characters. When we examine and taste from the barrels
in the cave we carry chalk to write notes on individual
barrels, something about the wine or the process. Those
barrels that were the best in each lot got an "X"
for eXceptional. This is where the X in DRX comes from.
This Meritage is made from just the exceptional barrels.
We make the component wines separately, age them for 18
months to two years, do the blend by taste and then return
the blend for a third year or more of barrel aging.
After
the 2001 DRX was bottled it was aged in the bottle for three
years. You say you don't have a cellar to age exceptional
wines? Well, we've done it for you.
Price: $85.00

RED
REX has
been a hit since it was released in early 2006. The 2002,
2003 and 2004 vintages sold out quickly. Luckily the 2005
vintage is ready and has been released. Click
Here to put in an order.
At a suggested retail of $28.00 per bottle it is a real buy (a few dollars
more in some out of California markets). This is what the
latest review says about RED REX:
“It’s
deep and dark with great blackberry fruit. Mellow tannins
and a wonderful soft and lingering cedar finish make this
wine everything you would want in a bottle costing $30.00.” WINETASTINGSONOMA.COM
The RED REX Fact Sheet provides a lot of information about this
wine.
We've
also updated our fact sheet locator to make it easier to find
fact sheets on all of our wines. You can find it here: Fact
Sheets.
And,
if you try RED REX and you think it is good, then try our
other wines, they are all exceptional, many a step up from
Red Rex.
