2006 Grand Oz It was our Grandfather – “Grand Oz” - who introduced our family to grape-growing and wine. A longtime farmer, H.A. Oswald, Jr. grew some of Mendocino County’s best grapes at the family vineyard and produced some of the region’s finest wines. While every bottle of Husch carries his name we thought it fitting that this exclusive wine be named in his honor. The 2006 Grand Oz is a Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah blend – using the best fruit from H.A. Oswald’s home ranch combined with the best barrels in the winery. With only four barrels produced (1140 bottles), this wine was nurtured from vineyard to bottle with the utmost pride and care. Each bottle of Grand Oz is hand numbered, wax sealed and signed by third generation family owners, Zac Robinson and Amanda Robinson Holstine. This Grand Oz is an elegant expression of the cabernet sauvignon and syrah grapes grown on the H.A. Oswald’s old home ranch. The wine exhibits alluring aromas of blueberry, black current, leather, tar, as well as, beautiful notes of laurel bay and a dusty earthiness. These aromas continue on in the flavor and are accompanied by boysenberry, black raspberry, mocha, and vanilla. The finish is long and satisfying with delightful berries and spice. This wine is enjoyable now yet the acid and tannin structure will allow for long term aging. The succulent flavors of this wine will nicely complement a well marbled pepper encrusted steak, a good earthy grilled portabella mushroom, some good aged cheddar, or even a wonderful hunk of super dark chocolate.
