Rio San Lucas Vineyard RIP Coffin Set

Located in the Salinas River Valley in Southeast Monterey County, CA, the Rio San Lucas Vineyards were planted in 1963. This site included Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Zinfandel, Gamay, Petite Sirah, Sangiovese, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. At one time they also had several other varietals including Riesling. In 2006 the Vineyard was purchased by Earthbound Farms and the vines bulldozed to make way for organic lettuce. Now all that survives is a fraction of Pinot Noir. While we’re all for organic farming (which we practice here at our estate vineyard) it broke our wine-drinking hearts. This boxed set is a commemoration of a lovely vineyard site that produced beautiful complex wines.
The soils at RSL are fairly uniform, fine river silts, with varying quantities of sand and gravel. The vines here ranged in age from 7 to 40 years. While certainly a classic Pinot site due to the cooling influences of Monterey Bay, the moderate temperatures produced great spice characteristics in the Rhone varietals. This coolness also aided in producing very food friendly wines that were higher in acid and lower in alcohol.
We suggest pairing with a hearty salad ... har, har.

Rio San Lucas Wines:
#1: 2005 PSC Rio San Lucas Pinot Noir
Light to Medium-bodied. Dried cherry and cranberry with notes of forest floor. Soft on the palate with red cherry and a hint of menthol-like coolness on the finish. Very nice, Burgundian styled Pinot.
#2: 2005 PSC Rio San Lucas Syrah
Medium-bodied. Earthy and gamey, with dried currant, black cherry, saddle leather and tobacco. A very mineral driven, old world styled Syrah. Hermitage?
#3: 2005 PSC Rio San Lucas Zinfandel
Medium-bodied. Jammy and expressive. Blackberry, briar and candied plum with hints of allspice and dried leaves. Flavors of blueberry, grape skin and mulberry. Great acid and low alcohol. Great food Zin. Think BBQ.
#4: 2005 PSC Rio San Lucas Petite Syrah
Medium-bodied. Slightly muted aromas of candied black cherry and blackberry with earthy notes of underbrush and turned earth. Dark black cherry on the mineral laced palate. Also very old world in style.
#5: 2005 PSC Rio San Lucas Cabernet Franc
Rich and full bodied. Black currant, licorice and cassis meld with freshly turned earth and mint. Big dry tannins that grip the palate with a long finish echoing blackberry and eucalyptus. Very, very Paullic. Awesome wine.
