Prospect 772 2007 The Brat Red
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Softly tannic, sexy and delicious, with waves of berry-cherry pie filling and mocha for richness, and drier, tarter notes of currants, leather, rhubarb and pomegranates, accentuated with smoky wood. A blend of Grenache and Syrah, it’s sophisticated and nuanced. Try as an interesting, more food-friendly alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon.

Prospect 772 2010 The Instigator Syrah (Sonoma County)
- Cellar Selection
- $36
Powerful and decadent, this 100% Syrah has a lush palate that comes with impressive streaks of gamy meat and earth, plus a note of bright blackberry jam. The long, concentrated finish bears a touch of tar. Let this relax a few years, and it will get even better.

Prospect 772 2009 The Brat Red (Calaveras County)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
An incredibly concentrated, silky blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Nothing shy about this wine, inspired as it is by the great Chateauneuf-du-Papes and yet undoubtedly Californian. Make that mountain Californian. With baked cherry fruit and baking spices throughout and serious grip and weight, this is one heady and delicious wine.

Prospect 772 2009 The Brawler Syrah-Viognier (Calaveras County)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $36
A stunning Syrah with 4% Viognier that’s almost black in color and aching with deep, dark cherry and black licorice surrounded by a lush, dense herb garden. This is a heavy, rich California Syrah, practically a velvet curtain, that will appeal to Rhône aficionados and anyone with a taste for something big, accentuated by a smoky finish.

Prospect 772 2007 The Brawler Red
- $36
An ambitious Syrah. Shows extraordinarily fine tannins, soft and rich, with complex flavors of blackberries, currants, mocha and pepper. A touch of Viognier goes a long way, adding a vein of lime taste and acidity. Give it six months to integrate and calm down.

Prospect 772 2008 The Brat Red (Calaveras County)
- $36
Another very good Grenache-Syrah blend from this winery, continuing a string of successful bottlings. The wine is notable for its lush cherry, blackberry, cassis, licorice and spice flavors, and for a superb structure comprised of refined tannins and crisp acidity.

Prospect 772 2009 The Instigator Syrah (Sonoma County)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Black as night, this Sonoma-sourced, 100% Syrah is a mouthful of tar, leather and dark exotic spices. Savory and smoky, it’s teeth-stainingly rich and dense, with time to age. Smoke a duck or prepare a cassoulet, and this Syrah will have found its perfect mate.

Prospect 772 2010 The Brawler Syrah-Viognier (Calaveras County)
- $36
A blend of Syrah and 7% Viognier, this has a tremendous perfume on the nose. Mouth-filling and savory, it is adorned with flavors of mushroom, earth and black raspberry. Cellar this for a while, or enjoy it now with roasted game served in a mushroom ragout.
