When I wasn’t making vines, I was busy looking for the future home for all the vines in my nursery. I spent 7 years looking at possible vineyard sites all over the Central Coast of California. Whenever I found a promising site, I negotiated a due diligence period during which I could do soil and site analysis. While mapping out the last piece I’d ever evaluate (because it was the one that turned into Alban Vineyards) I happened to name a little ridge on one part of the ranch ‘Reva’s Ridge’. It was a play on words incorporating the name of a Kentucky Derby winner: Riva’s Ridge, and my mother’s name which is Reva. Clearly I’d been in the sun too long and I will admit that I am a total ‘mama’s boy’. Years later, after calling the vineyard Reva and tagging the first barrel as Reva, I embraced the obvious: I named the wine Reva. The grapes that go into Reva (97-100% Syrah with the balance Viognier) are from neutral sandy soils and portions of ranch that are chalky and quite alkaline. This combination makes for a wine with dark color, concentrated flavors of black fruits, fennel, and graphite. Perhaps the most distinguishing note of Reva is a unique iodine and oyster shell aromatic that is unlike anything in our other Syrahs. The wine is aged 3.5 years in barrels before bottling unfined and unfiltered. \u003c!-- TABS --\u003e\u003c!-- \/TABS --\u003e","published_at":"2022-01-03T20:50:50-05:00","created_at":"2022-01-03T20:50:51-05:00","vendor":"Alban Vineyards","type":"Red","tags":["Country_USA","Finding_Inventory","memorial2023","NR_2022","PROMO","Region_Napa Valley","Size_750 ml.","Type_Red","Varietal_Syrah","Vintage_2007","Winery_Alban Vineyards"],"price":17500,"price_min":17500,"price_max":17500,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39909050023972,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"A4571","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Alban Vineyards - 2007 - Reva Syrah - 750 ml.","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":17500,"weight":2267,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"A4571","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/finding.wine\/cdn\/shop\/products\/11_5d59d1bf-bb24-45cc-938d-a88ea14fc1af.png?v=1641313299"],"featured_image":"\/\/finding.wine\/cdn\/shop\/products\/11_5d59d1bf-bb24-45cc-938d-a88ea14fc1af.png?v=1641313299","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":21526748200996,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"width":2000,"src":"\/\/finding.wine\/cdn\/shop\/products\/11_5d59d1bf-bb24-45cc-938d-a88ea14fc1af.png?v=1641313299"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/finding.wine\/cdn\/shop\/products\/11_5d59d1bf-bb24-45cc-938d-a88ea14fc1af.png?v=1641313299","width":2000}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCountry: \u003cstrong\u003eUSA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegion: \u003cstrong\u003eNapa Valley \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVarietal: \u003cstrong\u003eSyrah\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVintage: \u003cstrong\u003e2007\u003c\/strong\u003e - Size: \u003cstrong\u003e750 ml.\u003c\/strong\u003e - Type: \u003cstrong\u003eRed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the earliest years of Alban Vineyards, I lived in a rented green house propagating cuttings.
