According to Wine Industry Advisor, The announcement was jointly made today by Musso’s COO, Proprietor, and fourth-generation member of the family of owners Mark Echeverria, and the famed restaurant’s General Manager and Wine Director Andrea Scuto, who blended the new vintage of the wine.

Musso’s 2018 vintage, already labeled classic, is similar to the great 2016 – another classic year for great vintage and strong growing season, resulting in high-quality wines. 2018’s cool temperatures in the late summer and early fall provided ideal weather by which to allow the fruit to have great concentration, with healthy acidity and a good depth of flavor.

Says Mr. Scuto, “Musso’s Peake Ranch Syrah is deep red with purple reflections, shiny in the glass, and shows the concentration typical of a long ripening season. The nose is powerful, with a burst of black fruit and purple flowers accented from the cardamom and baking spices generously imparted by the French oak barrels used to elevate the wine.

The attack on the mouth of our new Peake Ranch Syrah is supple, and confirms the deep core of black fruit, releasing on the mid-palate floral notes and the precious spice accents perceived at the nose. Tannins are sweet and smooth, working together with the natural acidity of the Syrah, to give great structure to the wine in order to pair it with our famous steaks. The finish is long and clean, and leaves the mouth ready for another bite of our legendary food options.”
