2005 CHARDONNAY Carneros |
| This is our twentieth anniversay of producing Carneros Chardonnay. Aromas of coconut, mango, fig, quince and creme brulee are typical of the cool Carneros region. Layers of rich oak are evident, but not overwhelming. The wine is rich, but elegant and retains refreshing acidity to keep the wine balanced. We feel this vintage has excellent aging potential. 4219 cases of 750ml produced |
| 2004 PINOT NOIR Carneros "Sangiacomo Vineyard" |
| We produce Pinot Noir
using the traditional techniques of Burgundy. These include using whole clusters, a cold
soak, and punching down rather than pumping over. The fresh raspberry and chocolate truffle aromas are complemented by vanilla, toast and smoke from aging the wine in French oak
barrels. Our lowest production in five years! 529 cases of 750ml produced |
| 2004 PINOT NOIR Russian River Valley "Rochioli Vineyard" |
| These grapes come from the most famous Pinot Noir vineyard in
California, and we strive to maintain the unique qualities of this site in our wine.
Grapes from the "River Block", which was planted in 1989, tend to create wine of
great clarity and vineyard character. This vintage is exceptionally dense and expansive and provides great aging potential. This is the best wine we have ever made from this vineyard. 121 cases of 750ml produced |
