 jelly roll syrah!
 
Dear Wine Friends,
 
I have written before about the Lompoc wine ghetto, a group of industrial buildings facilitating some of Santa Barbara county's most cult wine producers; the majority of whom specialize in foraging selected small lots of grapes from prized vineyard sources in nearby Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Rita Hills.  One "consortium" by the name of Holus-Bolus, is a motley crew of four independent, self-educated, mavericks who have learned success by pooling their limited resources and brain trust.  Member Jim Knight, in real life a "Deadhead"- wine buyer for his family's business, is the creative juice behind his independent production of a splendid Syrah he calls JELLY ROLL.....in a tribute to New Orleans jazzman Jelly Roll Morton.  The 2006 production has grown to a walloping 200 cases.
 
A month does not go by when I don't field at least a couple of phone calls from those "in the know" inquiring about the availability or pending release of the upcoming JELLY ROLL.  ATTENTION!  As of today, the 2006 JELLY ROLL Syrah is available....see my tasting notes below.  I am fortunate to have a nice little cache committed to The Wine Consultant.  Do not delay your order, as my JELLY stash will melt away like if it was spread on hot toast.  
 
The black-crimson color glistens with clarity.  Buoyant cassis and blackberry aromas stand up in unison like trumpets hitting the high notes!   Then it's a full "Hello Dolly" on the palate with the cassis and blackberry still crowin' and goin' strong.  A little cedar and vanillin bridge any gaps. You'll feel the room swayin'. Seriously, this is a classy act!   And a true BARGAIN for only $36.95 a bottle!
 
For the full gist, here are two articles by W. Blake Gray that appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle on November 10, 2005.
