2006 Ketcham Estate Ketcham Vineyard Pinot Noir
Ketcham Vineyard, Russian River Valley
This is the first wine we have produced with
grapes exclusively from our vineyard (to say
we are excited is a gross understatement!). The
nose is more intense ...morethan the RRV, and more
complex. There is a hint of dark chocolate
wrapped around the signature spice and dark
red fruits. This wine has more explosive flavors
and the chocolate nuances appear on the palate
as well. But this wine screams Russian River
Valley and confirms the profile that we believe
is a hallmark of the vineyard - that is, red
raspberries, cherries and an underlying stream
of spices. The wine has softer tannins and,
although it is approachable now, it will greatly
benefit from a year or two in the cellar. Only 92
cases produced.

2007 Private Reserve Pinot Grigio
Santa Clara Valley
One of the most popular of our white wine releases, we are happy to again make available this lovely Pinot Grigio. Pinot Grigio is thought to be a gray-skinned mutation of the dark ...more-skinned Pinot Noir. It is a popular grape variety commonly found in our family’s ancestral home of Northern Italy—especially in Alto-Adige, Veneto and Friuli. The grape is also grown in France where it is commonly known as Pinot Gris.
WINEMAKERS NOTES:
The 2007 vintage was produced from Pinot Grigio grapes grown in the Clarksburg region of the Sacramento River Delta. This wine opens on the nose with opulent citrus/stone fruit aromas reminiscent of grapefruit and peach—with hints of lichee nut, green apple and vanilla. On the palate the wine has a distinctive mineral essence with background notes of toasted almond all wrapped in a clean, austere finish. This nicely balanced wine is a perfect complement for seafood or pasta with white sauces. The 2007 vintage yielded approximately 1,250 cases.
Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Grigio
Alcohol: 13.1%

Sorry, this vintage has sold out. At this time we have no plans for the next Dolcetto.
SILVER MEDAL
2005 ORANGE COUNTY FAIR
This distinctive Ca ...morel-Italia wine is a result of our continuing commitment to introduce small lots of new and exciting wines to the members of our Guglielmo Wine Group. This very limited release will be primarily available only in our Tasting Room. The Dolcetto (dohl-chet-toe) grape is native to Northern Italy’s Piedmonte foothills - the region our grandparents came from. Pair this with a great tomato-based pasta dish and before you know it your mind will conjure images of a leisurely dinner at a sidewalk café in Torino.
WINEMAKERS NOTES:
Produced from 100% Dolcetto grown in Santa Barbara County, the wine opens with an inviting array of aromas including raspberry, vanilla, smoky cedar and anise. On the palate tangy cranberry fruit flavors and well-integrated tannins linger like an Italian sunset.

WINEMAKERS NOTES:
The 2005 vintage was produced from fruit grown in San Ysidro Vineyards in Southern Santa Clara County.

After fermentation, the wine was allowed to age for approximately nineteen months in a combination of French & American 60- gallon oak barrels. The 2005 Santa Clara Valley Merlot should continue to gain additional complexities in the bottle for at least another 3 - 4 years. This 2005 bottling yielded approximately 600 cases.

Santa Clara Valley
This very limited Guglielmo family specialty opens with dark plum and tart cherry fruit aromas with a potpourri of spice. This grape’s typical black pepper component is backed by ...more cinnamon, leather, and a dusting of oak.

Produced predominately from old vine Petite Sirah first planted by our Grandfather over 70 years ago. These vines continue to yield a Petite Sirah of unusual depth and character. To add complexity to the nose we included a small portion of Santa Clara Valley Merlot.

In the glass this wine shows an enticing assemblage of ripe fruit and spice aromas. Strawberries and black cherries flirt with clove and anise - all within a subtle framework of oak.
