Sauvignon Blanc

2007 Sauvignon Blanc
Dry Creek Valley
Grapes are cold fermented very slowly and left on the lees for 6 months, producing a wine with an exuberant floral bouquet bursting with juicy complex fruit. Flavors of tangerine ... moreand lemon drops, topped with notes of pineapple, mango and guava. This lovely crisp wine makes a perfect aperitif and is a natural match for seasonal shellfish dishes.

2006 Pinot Noir
Monterey
We crushed and fermented in small 1-ton-open-topped fermentation tanks. We hand punched down these grapes twice daily for 7 days and then pressed directly to 4 year old french bar ... morerels. The wine was aged for 15 months before bottling on January 31, 2008. This Pinot Noir has exceptional red cherry-pit flavors with a background of cherries, raspberries, dried herbs and tar combine with leafy and earthy vine flavors.

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Howell Mountain, Napa
No one believes me… when I say that we share these grapes with the bears, mountain lions, turkeys and deer in this remote vineyard… that is until they accompany me to the viney ... moreard! These grapes grow on the slopes of a very famous vineyard above 1,400 feet elevation, in a very remote area of the Howell Mountain appellation in Napa Valley. Of all the places where grapes are grown, this is truly a Grand Cru vineyard and appellation. The vineyard itself is cut from the mountain and grows on terraces so steep that walking down the rows is dangerous!
This single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is crushed and fermented with extended skin contact and maceration for 21 days. It is then pressed and put into small, French oak barrels for 24 months before bottling.

Petite Sirah
|
2004 Portentous
Mendocino
"Port-Style" Dessert Wine. This late bottled vintage “port” was a dream to make. The grapes were crushed and chilled down to 45°F and allowed to sit on the skins for six day ... mores, extracting flavors and color. We then added yeast and slowly allowed the fermentation to begin with close monitoring, in order to press off the skins and add our brandy at optimal sugar to stop the fermentation. The blend was then transferred to older barrels and allowed to age for 2 1/2 years before bottling.
The grapes are grown on extraordinary mountain vineyards in Mendocino County. The Petite Sirah comes from the Talmage Bench area just west of Ukiah on the eastern side of the valley. It is grown at an elevation of approximately 1,400 feet.. The grapes get very ripe, and give spicy berry fruit with dark, black inky color.
The Zinfandel comes from the Mendocino Ridge Appellation and is grown at an extreme elevation of 2,900 feet. These are very renowned grapes and grow right on the edge of what is deemed common for viticulture, resulting in very concentrated cranberry-raspberry flavors and aromas.
