Prospect 772

Great winery, have received many 90+ points reviews from Wine Spectator. Great whites, rose and reds. Off the beaten path. Great hosts.

I stopped here on my way to Murphy’s and it was great. The wines were really good. My favorite was baby doll. The prices are affordable and the staff was really friendly. I can’t wait to go back.

Love their wine. Each wine is very approachable and created to pair with food. All wines receive high marks in reviews but are priced to where everyone can afford. This is a great find and I would recommend very highly that you seek out Prospect 772 when you visit Angels Camp or off the menu if available at a restaurant.

Let me start by saying… What a find! This place is not only has some of the very best wines in California, but the grounds are beautiful. Can’t wait for her outdoor area to be finished. A MUST for anyone who loves a great red wine.

Another winery at the Passport event last Saturday. I think I tasted them before at the first annual Passport event 2 years ago. I guess I forgot to Unilocal them. Two wines for your tasting pleasure:
The Brawler — Sturdy, Powerful, Bold — Syrah based
The Brat — Seductive, Elegant, Complex — Grenache based
I get the whole cute name for a blend thing but for the most part I agree with Shelly, it is annoying. I reserve the right to change my mind with these two. ;)

Prospect 772 was founded in 2002 in Angels Camp, CA with an interest in small lot productions, attention to detail, and Rhone grape-​based wines.
They do not have a tasting room (yet) but they were pouring at the East Bay Vintner’s Alliance Passport Event at Rosenblum Cellars. Why? They do create some of their wines at JC Cellars at Oakland with the assistance of wine maker Jeff Cohn. Why were that at Rosenblum Cellars and not JC Cellars for the tasting? No idea.
They have cute names for their wine, Baby Doll Rose, The Brat and The Brawler. The only reason they don’t annoy me is because they really do describe the wine you are drinking.
The Brat is 53% Grenache and 47% Syrah. It had a complex flavor and I was surprised there was any Syrah in it at all.
The Brawler was the clear winner in our group. It’s a Big wine, 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier. I tend to like the fruit bomb Syrahs and my friend likes the peppery Syrahs. This was a more earthy, peppery Syrah but smooth with less tannins because of the Viognier. It was the only Syrah we could agree on all day.
Way to go Prospect 772, it was a good showing!
