Description
In the summer of 2012, Radio-Coteau acquired a historic 42-hectare Estate Vineyard and ranch on a hillside above the town of Occidental. Originally called the Lemorel Winery (as it later became known) by Joseph Morelli & Sons before Prohibition, it dates back to 1892, when the first vines were planted. Situated at an altitude of 800 meters, the estate boasts a highly diverse agro-ecosystem built on the prized Goldridge soil. They still retain their heritage Syrah Zinfandel, and recently replanted the existing acreage with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This winery is already among the very best in California - Mendocino.
Harrison Grade is estate-grown, 800 feet above sea level on a mountain ridge above Occidental. The grapes are organically grown, hand-harvested, fermented traditionally, and bottled in-house. During fermentation, approximately 45% of the grapes are kept as whole clusters, creating ample structure and cellaring potential. This Syrah is a dark ruby red in the glass, with a blue rim. The concentrated color matches the wine's robust nose. This unfiltered wine is a unique cool-climate Syrah. It's incredibly elegant, and it's no wonder it consistently scores highly.

De wijn’s stevige structuur en elegante tannines maken hem perfect om te combineren met smaakvolle gerechten zoals sappig rundvlees of wild, vooral wanneer deze bereid zijn met kruidige en rokerige accenten. Een mooie bereidingswijze die de wijn goed tot zijn recht laat komen is bijvoorbeeld een langzaam gegaarde stoofpot of gegrild vlees met een kruidige marinade, waardoor de complexiteit van de wijn en de kracht van het gerecht mooi samenkomen. |

I was blown away by the four Syrahs that Eric Sussman is producing. One of two prodigious Syrahs is the 2013 Syrah Harrison Grade, from an organically farmed vineyard 800 feet above sea level on a ridge top near Occidental. Sussman used 45% whole-clusters and, again, bottled this wine unfined and unfiltered. It has an absolutely amazing opaque purple color, while notes of graphite, asphalt, camphor, black truffle, blackberry and cassis soar from the glass. Some meatiness is also apparent, as this wine comes across like a California version of a great Hermitage. It should age magnificently for 15-20 or more years. Sadly, there are only 140 cases of the Harrison Grade and 170 cases of the Dusty Lane, but they are fabulous Syrahs from coastal viticulture and great winemaking.
For more than a decade now, I’ve been super-impressed by wine-grower and proprietor Eric Sussman, the brains behind these beautiful wines of Radio-Coteau. Working in cool-climate, coastal vineyard sites in Sonoma and Anderson valleys, he is a great believer in natural winemaking, with indigenous yeast fermentation, low SO2 levels, and generally biodynamic or organic farming. All of his wines are bottled in-house, unfined and unfiltered. This is a great showing for his wines, as he transitions to entirely estate fruit. (Right now it’s about 50% of his production, but it’s moving toward 100%.) Tel. (707) 823-2578; www.radiocoteau.com

The 2016 Syrah Harrison Grade Estate is developing into a very pretty and expressive wine. Savory herb, leather, licorice, smoke and black cherry are finely sketched in a Syrah that speaks with a real sense of distinction. The Harrison Grade remains the most reticent of the 2016 Syrahs in this tasting, but its day will come. Readers should expect a wild, gamy, powerful style with quite a bit of whole cluster influence.
- By Antonio Galloni on January 2019
It is always a pleasure to stop by and taste with Eric Sussman and Davida Ebner at Radio-Coteau. The bottled 2016s are every bit as impressive as they were from barrel. Readers who want to get a sense of why 2017 is such a strong vintage in Sonoma will find many answers in the 2017s. The wines bristle with energy, nuance and personality. It's tough to pick favorites in this range, but for my palate, the Pinots and Syrahs have a little more of everything.

From: Sonoma’s Stellar 2016s (Apr 2018)
The 2016 Syrah Harrison Grade Estate is the most reticent of the three 2016 Syrahs I tasted from Radio-Coteau. Savory herbs, crushed rocks, graphite, smoke, lavender, sage, game and tobacco gradually reveal themselves, but the 2016 remains a bit linear and compact. Although a bit reluctant today, I suspect the Harrison Grade has a lot to say, once it has had a chance to fully come together.
- By Antonio Galloni on January 2018
Readers will find much to admire in these new and upcoming releases from Eric Sussman and Davida Ebner at Radio-Coteau. The 2016 Pinots and Syrahs are especially of note, as they express all the nuance and finesse that is such a signature of the year.

In the summer of 2012, Radio-Coteau acquired a Historic Estate of 42 acres and a ranch on a hill above the American city of Occidental. Before the draining in the 1920s, the estate was called Joseph Morelli & Sons. Later this vineyard was known under the name Lemorel winery, in 1892 the first vines were planted. The vineyard is located at 234 meters and has a very diverse agro-ecosystem established on the prized Goldridge soil consisting of sandy loam, the remains of an ancient sea floor, revered for excellent drainage and moderate fertility. The roots of the grape vines extend low into the subsoil, giving them access to water resources until late in the growing season, making it possible to continue to propagate the old Syrah and Zinfandel vines of 1946. The area experiences moderate rainfall during the winter months and the overall cool coastal climate provides extended maturation and good flavor development.
