  Sones Cellars 2008

  Snoothrank:

  Let's hope that the full body of flavor isn't lost in the bottling process. It's days later and I can still remember the sensation that this future Zinfandel held.

Sones 2004 Petite Syrah - Monterey County Wine Style: Red: Petite Sirah Wine Region:  California: Santa Cruz Mountains Wine Year: 2004 Wine Label: Sones Cellars Wine Link: http://www.snooth.com/wine/sones-petite-sirah-central-coast-2003/ Wine Description: This approachable Petite Sirah begins with aromas of cherries and cedar which are followed by flavors of dark berries, oak, and black pepper. This wine has a firm yet subtle texture and a good mouth feel.  There were a total of 145 cases produced. Sones Cellars is a small family winery located in Santa Cruz, California. Their flagship wines are Petite Sirah and Zinfandel. Michael and Lois Sones met in the mid-1980s while working at sea on a cruise ship. I also mentioned this wine briefly in my previous post as a good pairing with southern rock outfit Delta Spirit. As much as I enjoyed tasting this wine with a rock band, I find that the more compositional aspect of Max Richter really pulls the emotion and the substance out of the wine and leaves room for opening up of flavors. Max Richter Music Style:  Classical: Composition Music Region: London, UK Music Year: 2008 Music Label:  Fat Cat Music Link:  http://www.maxrichter.com Music Description:  German Born, now living in London, Max Richter studied Piano at University of Edinburgh and is said to be heavily influenced by Philip Glass. Richter’s first project was called Piano Circus and was an ensemble of six pianists that has performed all over the world. Max Richter has recently produced albums for folk legend Vashti Bunyan, and for the Scottish rock quartet The Twilight Sad - also on the Fat Cat label. Max has also performed and written with electronic luminaries such as Future Sound of London and Roni Size. The name of this track is "H in New England" and it includes gently cascading and fluxing trails of piano. It is both complex and simple and includes a series of emotionally gripping crescendos. It reminds me a lot of the changing of the seasons (and the leaves in New England) that starts later in September.
