For 25 years, the Lehrer family has been recognized in the construction industry for flawless quality in building and remodeling. This passion for excellence is equally apparent in Lehrer Family Vineyards. For founder Ron Lehrer, creating a truly exceptional Syrah that proudly bears the Lehrer family name is a labor of love...

Ron’s high standards are fueled by family pride, values, tradition, and an uncompromising commitment to quality, which is reflected in his distinctive Syrah. This is where the “heart” of wine comes in. “It all starts with the grapes,” says Ron. The East County region, known for its warm summer days and cool, breezy nights, is an ideal climate for the production of Syrah grapes.

A superior grape is the first step in creating a great bottle of wine. The rest of the process, “the art of wine,” is in the hands of the vintner. Here the Lehrer family has collaborated with Dennis Johns — one of the top wine-makers in the Napa Valley and the former owner of White Cottage Ranch Winery. Johns has a well-earned reputation for producing exceptional, small batch vintages, sharing Ron’s conviction that quality over quantity is a hallmark of great wine.

Prime ingredients in the Lehrer Family Syrah “recipe for success” include extraordinary grapes, a highly accomplished Napa Valley wine maker, new French oak barrels, wines aged up to two years per vintage, and a labor-intensive process of frequent racking to keep the wine pristine and minimize the need for sulphites. Dennis Johns has done it again with the 2007 vintage. To order from the limited remaining supply, call 925-240- 5331 or order online at www.lehrerfamilyvineyard.com

The Lehrer family stands united as they continue to build this great family legacy. As Ron says, “It’s all about catching a vision of something wonderful and then working to make that vision come true.”
