to keep in line with the back story of The Heist, the red Syrah we made from the same grapes.\u00a0 What is that back story you ask?\u00a0 I can&#8217;t tell you.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a secret.\u00a0 There are a few out there that know&#8230;..Now here&#8217;s a silly phone video Hubs made at bottling:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
