Proprietor and winemaker Russell P. From began Herman Story Wines in 2001 with 7 barrels stashed in his employer's cellar. What started as a modest homage to his rancher grandfather has become a beacon to those seeking opulent, structured Syrah and Grenache. To maintain balance while giving flavor full stage, Russell works with 30 top-tier vineyards in over 7 distinct growing regions between Santa Barbara and Paso Robles. These are no-nonsense, balls to the wall wines that are not for the faint of heart or the pinky raising set.
Nuts and Bolts is big, bold, and loaded with both peppery spice and juicy black fruit. Coming from such notable vineyards as Bien Nacido, Jespersen, and Slide Hill, Russell ages the wines for 18 months in 85% new French oak.
JEB DUNNUCK 96 POINTS - "Darker berries, peppery herbs, sappy underbrush, game, and bouquet garni notes all soar from the 2022 Nuts & Bolts, another ripe, powerful wine in the lineup. All Syrah from a mix of York, Slide Hill, Chelle Mountain, and White Hawk vineyards, it has a round, layered, elegant mouthfeel, polished yet building tannins, and a great finish. It's a classic Russell From Syrah that holds onto a beautiful, almost cool climate-inspired style."
