We have made grenache, pinot and zinfandel like this but wanted to see how syrah would do and it is glorious! Jenn tasted it and put together a lovely label inspired by the light red color and subtle green herbaceous notes. When Emily and I saw the label we knew it needed a cool name and couldn’t quickly come up with anything compelling. Then DOTS came to mind, Don’t Over Think Shit! Throw a few of these in the cooler at your next BBQ.\"\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking wine is the last step in the growing of grapes, the preservation of the crop, the enological encapsulation of the vintage. Sometimes inspired by the classics and other times the avant garde we strive to make elegantly energetic wines that reflect the vintage, variety, and vineyard.\u003cbr\u003eGrowing grapes and making wine is quite the process and we are guided by the following question; is it necessary?  Each additional step in the process takes you one step further away from the grapes, further away from the vines, further away from the simplest expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*\u003cem\u003eRyan, Jenn, and Ellis Roark *\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2009 two monumental things occurred, Ryan made his first batch of Roark Wine Co. wine and he met Jenn.
