94 Points for our Syrah Three Creek Vineyard!
The Wine Enthusiast has graced our very limited, single vineyard Syrah from Three Creek Vineyard with 94 points. Below is what Steve Heimhoff had to say about this lovely wine.
“For sheer deliciousness, it’s hard to beat this Syrah. It shows intensely concentrated blackberry, cherry and liqueur flavors, with rich, smoky oak complexities, and the mouthfeel is pure velvet. For all the richness, the wine finishes dry and elegant. Compellingly good, and a worthy alternative to a great Napa Valley Cabernet.”

2010 RGB white blend
A wonderfully crisp, dry white blend of Roussanne and Grenache Blanc that is perfect for summer sipping. There are no “Californicated” flavors of oak or buttery malolactic here!

Root Causes Launch
When: Sunday, June 19, 2011 – Sunday, June 26, 2011
Where: AndrewMurrayVineyards.com
The Scoop:
Andrew Murray Vineyards launches its Root Causes giving program to benefit Storyteller Children’s Center of Santa Barbara, CA. The details are listed on our Root Causes page, but the bottom line is that Storyteller will receive 30% of all online sales during the week of June 19-26 (just in time for 4th of July celebrations!) and $100 for each new wine club member sign-up as well. We’re getting a special flat shipping rate in California of $10 for 0-6 bottles and $20 for 7-12 bottles to sweeten the deal.
One of the best aspects of this program is that it requires very little work on the part of the typically under-staffed beneficiary! We just need to spread the word via email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. and encourage people to buy some great wine. If you want to try out our wines in advance, you can find them at East Beach Wine in Santa Barbara (1114 State Street #24 – in the La Arcada Mall), or pop into Los Olivos and visit the AMV tasting room (2901-A Grand Avenue).
Robert Parker, Jr. (The Wine Advocate) has referred to Andrew Murray Vineyards as ‘A shining star in the Santa Barbara firmament’, and AMV wines consistently bring home high marks from the critics (range of 89-94 from The Wine Advocate, The Wine Enthusiast, The Rhone Report). They are frequently compared to French Cotes du Rhone, and French Crozes-Hermitage.

Storyteller Children’s Center Named Inaugural Recipient of Root Causes
Storyteller Children’s Center of Santa Barbara, California has been named the inaugural beneficiary of Andrew Murray Vineyards’ new giving program, ‘Root Causes’. Andrew and his wife Kristen were introduced to Storyteller when they attended the Storyteller Gala a few years ago in Santa Barbara. They are firm believers in Storyteller’s program.
Storyteller Children’s Center provides quality, tuition-free early childhood education for homeless and at-risk children in Santa Barbara County, as well as comprehensive support services for their families. Parents must pursue work or attend school while their children are enrolled in the program. Itʼs a win-win!

Frequently compared to French Cotes du Rhone, and French Crozes-Hermitage, Andrew Murray combines his knowledge of French, Australian, and California winemaking techniques to create uniquely American wines.
HEREʼS HOW ROOT CAUSES™ WORKS:
• Andrew Murray Vineyards will periodically solicit requests for donation recipients from wine club members.
• For one week, 30% of all online wine sales will be donated to the selected non-profit*.
• For that week, $100 will be contributed for each new wine club sign-up (with a
one-year minimum commitment)**.
• By sharing the program via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, email, etc., you can garner
the support of others who care deeply about your charity.
* Exclusive of shipping and tax. Days Off wines and our everyday Syrah Tous les Jours are excluded from the program. Wine club member orders will be limited to a 10% donation due to their significantly discounted purchase price.
** New wine club members will begin receiving their discounts after their first wine club shipment.
We encourage you to start shopping to receive some great wine and help a great cause!
Root Causes™ Giving Program
Kristen and I were fortunate to have been raised by parents who were excellent philanthropic role models. They instilled in us the notion that volunteering and contributing to one’s community should be as natural as breathing.
Like most of you, we have worked on fundraising events and capital campaigns, served on boards of trustees, and donated money (and wine) to our favorite non-profits over the years. In conjunction with launching our new website, we are also launching a focused giving program that will allow Andrew Murray Vineyards to help you, our loyal customers, raise money for your favorite charities.
Our goal is to leverage social media and the Internet to help you help your own community. It’s our way of thanking you for enjoying our wines, and getting to feel really good about it in the process.
The program is called Root Causes™, because just as we believe that great wine starts at the root of the vine, we also believe that to solve community problems, we must start at the root of the issue. In particular, we believe that if we can help children get a healthy, enriched, safe start in life, we might just prevent them from making poor choices in the future.
Here’s how Root Causes™ works:
- Andrew Murray Vineyards will periodically solicit requests for donation recipients from wine club members.
- For one week, 30% of all online wine sales will be donated to the selected non-profit*.
- For that week, $100 will be contributed for each new wine club sign-up(with a one-year minimum commitment)**.
- By sharing the program via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, email, etc., you can garner the support of others who care deeply about your charity.
Our inaugural recipient of Root Causes™ is Storyteller Children’s Center, a pre-school for homeless and at-risk children in the Santa Barbara, California area. Storyteller provides quality, tuition-free early childhood education for homeless and at-risk children in Santa Barbara County, as well as comprehensive support services for their families. Parents must pursue work or attend school while their children are enrolled. It’s a win-win!
