California Red Wine
Winemaker
Notes

Veiled in dark ruby red, the wine bursts with a tempting perfume of red and black fruits, dried rose petals, and a peppery note which offers some lift.  Dense and ripe upon first pass, it evolves into a savory compote of raspberry, kirsch, and bitter cherry balanced out with mineral and herbal notes.  The finish is substantial with tangy acidity, yet buffered with polished tannins that please the palate.

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Winemaker
Notes

We have searched NZ for growers with old vines who have been farming
these vineyards since Marlborough first was recognized as a premier wine
growing region in the 1970’s.

The base of our blend is comprised of fruit from vineyards in the heart of
the Wairau Valley, with its traditional passionfruit and crisp grassy flavors.
is component is complemented by the second wave of plantings in the
ever expanding Awatere Valley, which is noted for the minerality and elegant
characteristics the fruit gains from the region's proximity to the Pacific
Ocean. For the balance of this wine, we have sought out fruit from the
southern valley of Waihopai, where the gravel soils, and later, cooler
ripening climate produce Sauvignon Blanc characteristics that provide the
final layer of complexity and brings balance to our inaugural release of NZ.

Notes

Vivid red with a deep purple core, the nose is generous with ripe cherry, black raspberry, acacia flowers, and a hint of forest floor.  Immediately, the palate is treated to a textural mélange of sweet cherry, pomegranate, rose petal, and sappy strawberry.  A lively mid-palate reveals a mineral twist and exotic spice notes juxtaposed with fine tannins and superb clarity on the finish.

In 2008 a friend of mine encouraged me to visit the Maury appellation in the South of France. He was really excited about a specific vineyard he discovered in Maury and spoke of all of things I care about – old vines, interesting varietals, diverse soils, reliable and consistent temperatures and a place that had a compelling voice.
