2007 Choreography
Napa Valley
Choreography is a blend of five wines and represents our role of setting the stage for our vines and grapes to achieve their highest expression in the vineyards and at the winery. ...more The grapes for this wine come from two vineyards in the Napa Valley that are managed by the Nord family, a family with a distinguished tradition in Napa Valley winegrowing.
"The 2007 Choreography, with its deep garnet hue, releases a complex bouquet focused on cherry, blueberry and cranberry, with side notes of fresh roasted coffee, cedar and vanilla. On the palate, the flavors expand upon the aromas - dark sweet fruits, smoky oak, vanilla, coffee and a touch of cocoa. The velvety, sultry mouthfeel, with its gentle acidity and ripe tannins, set the stage for the gradually subsiding rich finish."--GJ

2008 Madden Ranch Syrah
Livermore Valley
We are very excited about the Syrah grapes from John Madden's Livermore Valley vineyard. Madden Ranch has 20 acres of Concannon clone Syrah--one of the oldest Syrah clones in Cali ...morefornia--all on 5BB rootstock. Located on the warmer eastern edge of the Livermore Valley, there are three different vineyard blocks on the ranch, each with a different slope and aspect.
Grapes were harvested on September 30, 2008 and each lot was taken to our winery where a 3 day cold soak was followed by yeast inocculation. The wine was aged ina mixture of French and American oak for 18 months before bottling.
"Our 2008 Madden Ranch Syrah releases its fresh sromas of red cherry, blueberry, plum and roasted coffee from the glass. At first sip, the Syrahhas a myriad of juicy red and black fruits that fill the palate with intricate supporting flavors of chocolate, licorice, mushroom and nutmeg. This fruit-forward wine finishes with the lingering richness of plum and cherry and spicy notes of vanilla and cinnamon."--GJ

2009 Jenkins Vineyard Chardonnay
Santa Cruz Mountains
The fruit for this wine was grown in our home vineyard, resting at 1,400 feet in the foothills of California's Santa Cruz Mountains above Los Gatos. Planted in 1999, this sloping ...moreone-acre vineyard produced just less than three and a half tons of fruit for the 2009 harvest. The grapes were hand harvested early in the morning and transported directly to the winery. They were then immediately whole cluster pressed and fermented and aged in French oak barrels.
"The 2009 Jenkins Vineyard Chardonnay opens up with rich, ripe tropical fruits. These aromas are enhanced by those of nectar-filled apple blossoms, melon, pineapple and vanilla. On the palate you'll discover an abundance of pear, green apple and vanilly with undertones of sweet oak, cedar and cinnamon. Although this Chardonnay boasts rich creaminess, it has a succulent and vibrant finish showcasing its minerality and lemon curd flavors."--GJ

2008 Black Orchid - Petite Sirah
Briarwood Estate Vineyard
Hailing from the western edge of Briarwood, our Petite Sirah grows in a block of mixed soils that comprise both calcareous limestone and rocky alluvium. You can practically draw a ...moreline through the block where the soils are clearly defined on either side. Black Orchid is 100% estate-grown Petite Sirah and is exactly as its name implies, black. This wine is meant to display not only the powerful profile of the variety, but also the depth and complexity that it derives from our terroir. Hand picked in September, the fruit was de-stemmed, double sorted, then cold soaked for multiple days prior to fermentation. An additional 6 months of barrel aging helped to soften the tannins and improve oak integration. The end result is a deftly balanced wine with an inky profile and layers of fruit.
Jumping out of the glass with aromas of dark, ripe fruit and notes of tobacco leaf and cedar, this wine means business. The palate is layered with dark fruits and spice, reminiscent of olallieberry syrup and cloves. This wine is big, bold, and rich with inky phenolics and subtle undertones of soy. Black Orchid is the most muscular offering of our 2008 wines.

2008 Fiery Nights - Syrah
Briarwood Estate Vineyard
Fiery Nights is our pure expression of Westside Paso Robles Syrah. From a single block of calcareous soil at Briarwood, it is comprised of clones 383 and Alban 2. This 100% Syrah i ...mores meant to highlight the layers and complexity of the varietal, as well as express how our terroir influences its character. Our proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the consistent afternoon flow of cool Templeton Gap breezes allows our Syrah to achieve characters of both a warm and cool climate. Seeking finesse over power, the fruit was hand picked in September at ideal ripeness and treated gently, including multiple hand sorting and whole berry fermentation. The resultant wine is balanced, complex, and pure, just as we wanted it.
The nose speaks of rich, juicy plums highlighted by baking spices, licorice and sweet ginger notes. The palate is round and balanced with good weight that avoids being heavy. Flavors mirror the aromas, with dark fruits taking center stage. To sum it up clearly, Fiery Nights is a wine with old world class and new world sass.

Briarwood Vineyard
Mourvedre and Grenache bring fruit and spice to this eclectic blend, while Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Tempranillo provide backbone and color. A splash of Alicante Bouschet gives an a ...moredditional lift in color and complexity.
The nose is layered with cherries, cranberry and lavender, with accents of chocolate and herbs de Provence. On the palate, the wine sings with upfront fruit flavors of strawberries and sour cherries, finishing with a streak of minerality. The rich, full mouthfeel is balanced with fresh acidity and a red fruit finish that goes on and on.
