Fazeli Cellars
Fazeli Cellars produces bold red blends from Temecula Valley, California's warm South Coast region. The winery's portfolio centers on wines built from Rhône and Bordeaux varieties, with a particular emphasis on Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Syrah. Ruckus, a four-variety blend anchored by Petite Sirah and Merlot with Shiraz and Zinfandel, represents the winery's richest expression. Uproar combines Cinsaut, Zinfandel, and Grenache into a structured wine, while Pandemonium layers Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Shiraz into a Bordeaux-inflected blend. Wine Enthusiast has rated these wines, recognizing their depth and complexity. Temecula Valley's warm days and cooling evening breezes create conditions suited to ripe, full-bodied reds—a character evident across Fazeli's lineup.
