Winemaker Jean-Pierre Wolff's tasting notes on current vintages
2006 Chardonnay Old Vines
Our Chardonnay has a forward nose of fragrant tropical fruit, ripe pineapple and guava, with smooth buttery undertone. It is well balanced with citrusy acidity on light toasted oak and has a long and elegant finish.
|
2006 Pinot Noir
Our Pinot Noir has a bright red fruit profile with a nice strawberry jam and black cherry aroma. Smooth and round interlaced with a hint of raspberry and white pepper. Good acid backbone, well focused on the finish with light toasted oak and some tannins
|
2006 Syrah
Our Syrah has deep berry and spice aroma. Black cherry and ripe plum provides concentrated flavors layered with pepper. The tannins are refined providing a nice texture with full-bodied finish and toasty oak nuances.
|
2006 Petite Sirah
An enormously ripe and extracted wine. It is huge in cassis, roasted black cherry and wild berry. This cool climate grown Petite Sirah exhibits crushed pepper tones and spices. Well balanced, with firm tannins on the finish, giving it added structure with toasted oak aftertaste.
|
2006 Riesling
This Riesling is made in a dry Alsatian style with fruity, flowery and spicy flavors with cool climate acidity on a crisp finish.
|
2006 Teroldego
Our Teroldego, a rarely grown grape in the U.S., is a dark inky red, seriously lively and fruity wine with relatively low tannins and soft acidity for early drinking. This Italian-Tyrolean grape performs its trick almost exclusively in the Northeastern part of Italy near Bolzano, and our Edna Valley Vineyard.
Due to an extremely low production, our 2006 vintage has been reserved for our wine club members only
|
2005 Brixie's Red
Brix is the sugar content of grapes; our family dog is a sweet female pure bred black lab. We thought appropriately to call her Brixie!
Brixie's Red is a celebration of our happy vineyard dog. We blended Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from selected barrel lots to produce a big, friendly red wine.
|
2005 Pinot Noir Dijon Clones Selection
Our Pinot Noir has a bright red fruit profile with a nice strawberry jam and black cherry aroma. Smooth and round interlaced with a hint of raspberry and white pepper. Good acid backbone, well focused on the finish with light toasted oak and some tannins.
