Named after Rolf Heinrich Binder, the founder of the family winery and father of current winemakers Rolf and Christa, because of his love of the combination of shiraz, mataro and grenache. Heinrich is an estate wine with the shiraz coming from the Stephanie vineyard, the Mataro from the Chri'ro vineyard planted in 1972 and the Grenache from the Western Ridge vineyard planted in the early 1950's.

"Smooth and velvety, this is a plush mouthful of milk chocolate-accented cherry and autumn leaf aromas and flavors that linger nicely on the harmonious finish. Shiraz, Mataro and Grenache. Drink now through 2011. 2,500 cases imported. –HS

"The 2005 Heinrich, a blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, and Shiraz (15%, 30%, and 55% respectively), reveals a dark purple hue along with a sweet perfume of crushed rocks, blueberries, creme de cassis, creosote, vanilla, and spice. It is a full, earthy effort to consume over the next 7-8 years." -Rated 93, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Untitled
"A blend of 55% Shiraz, 30% Mataro and 15% Grenache, the 2005 Heinrich is a hauntingly complex wine, featuring cedar and floral notes on the nose, followed up on the palate by flavors reminiscent of sandalwood, Asian spices and dusty earth, with just enough cherry fruit to pull it all together. Tannins are soft, the finish long and supple. Drink now–2015." -Rated 92, Wine Enthusiast
