{"product_id":"mcnab-ridge-carisma-syrah","title":"McNab Ridge Carisma Syrah","description":"\u003cp\u003eMendocino County’s first vineyards were planted during the American Civil War by immigrants seeking to carve out new lives in this fertile land of northern California. McNab Valley is named after the Scottish immigrant and American soldier Alexander McNab who raised sheep on a 10,000-acre land grant in 1866. He became well known locally for the skill of his herding dogs, Peter and Fred, who would become patriarchs of the McNab dog breed, still a beloved working breed in the Pacific Northwest and Mendocino County in particular. Our Fred’s Red wine produced under the Fun Bunch is named in honor of one of these great dogs, Fred, and features a McNab on the label. The McNab Valley has been parceled out since the 1970s and McNab Ridge is one of three wineries that sit along McNab Creek as it runs apace McNab Ranch Road. Rich Parducci’s great grandfather, Adolph Parducci, arrived in the United States in 1912 and sold grapes from California via train to home winemakers across the country during Prohibition. During that time, his son John Parducci was growing up in the winery and learning the art of winemaking from his father... 200 legal gallons at a time, of course! John continued making wine at his family’s winery and growing the business until the late 1980s. He purchased the McNab Ridge Winery in 1999 to continue his passion for making classic Mendocino County varietal wines. John knew the McNab Valley area well, having grown up hunting deer, turkey and wild boar on the ridges and valleys around the McNab Ranch. John’s grandson Rich Parducci grew up in the Mendocino County wine industry like his grandfather and studied enology at California State University Fresno, a school renowned for its winemaking program. He joined John at McNab Ridge following the 1999 harvest where they continued making wine together until John’s passing in 2014. With grapes from vineyards all over the county grown by our neighbors and dear friends, McNab Ridge Winery now combines the pioneering winemaking spirit of Mendocino County with the dedication and vitality of Rich Parducci. Rich continues to make wine in the style made famous by his grandfather, John: complex, approachable, and enjoyable to drink. “We make wines that make you want more,” says Rich. Winery production in 2021 was 22,000 9-liter cases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monsieur Touton","offers":[{"title":"750mL \/ 12 \/ 2024","offer_id":45625556893892,"sku":"72117-24","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/3538\/5028\/files\/mcnab-ridge-carisma-syrah-750ml-12-2024-wine-296.webp?v=1766634394","url":"https:\/\/www.grandwinecellar.com\/products\/mcnab-ridge-carisma-syrah","provider":"Grand Wine Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
