The eponymous moniker was given to him by Wine Spectator in 1989, who featured Randall on the magazine cover dressed as the Lone Ranger. Born in Los Angeles and educated at the University of California at Davis, he originally purchased Bonny Doon winery to create ‘the Great American Pinot Noir.’ Although his efforts with Pinot Noir bore little fruit, his experiments with Rhône grape varieties proved wildly successful. Serendipitously this led Randall to become the champion of Rhône grape varieties in America. He has achieved this not only through the quality of his wines, but also through frequent lectures and poetic newsletter articles. Although Randall Grahm no longer owns Bonny Doon, having sold the winery in 2019, he is still a partner in the business and has stayed on as head winemaker.
Inspired by the great white wines of the Rhône Valley, Le Cigare Volant Blanc is made of 60% Rolle (aka Vermentino) and 40% Grenache Blanc. Vinified without oak influence; this blend is ripe and juicy with pronounced notes of golden pear, peach and jasmine. Crisp acidity brings added freshness to the fruit driven palate, and a touch of almond on the finish brings added complexity.
