Alban Vineyards is a California estate with a global reputation for its powerful Rhône-influenced blends and varietal wines, which are all sold on allocation, with a lengthy waiting list.
The company is located in the Edna Valley in the southern corner of San Luis Obispo County. In total, Alban has 27 hectares (66 acres) under vine mostly located around the winery. This land has a range of different soil types and mesoclimates, making site selection vital. Alban produces around 6000 cases of wine per year, and has also sold grapes to many other producers of note, including Sine Qua Non.

Robert Parker | 100 RP - There are around 280 six-packs of the fabulous, virtually perfect 2004 Syrah Seymour's Vineyard. An inky/blue/purple color is followed by an extraordinary bouquet of bacon fat, roasted meats, creme de cassis, forest floor, and hints of black olives and pepper. Opulent and full-bodied with thrilling levels of concentration, this amazing effort is John Alban's hommage to his father, Seymour. Give it another 2-3 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following two decades. The wines of John and Lorraine Alban are about as spectacular as one can find anywhere in the world. Alban is committed to aging his big Syrahs longer in barrel, believing it will concentrate the wines and add additional complexity. |
