2009 Late Harvest Muscat Canelli-
Russian
River Valley - $25
This is our first
gemstone barrel of Late Harvest Muscat Canelli. 2009 presented perfect
conditions for longer hang time to develop richly flavored, botrytised
grapes.
To concentrate its bright, lush
flavors and powerful fragrances, we pressed directly to a neutral
barrel, fermented in a long, cool stuyle with gently stirring “sur lie”
for months as ripe well-rounded flavors evolved.
It showcases honeysuckle and orange
blossoms, juicy nectarine and stone fruit preserves, mingles with a hint
of spice and sweet hay.
Vivid acidity gives a clean, long
finish to complement cheeses, foi gras and sweets.
It truly reflects its site, a foggy,
cobblestone vineyard block, and shows our passion for the art of growing
fine wines.

2010 Pinot Gris –
Russian River
Valley
- $25
Our vineyard’s Pinot Gris is quite different from commercial style Pinot
Gris or Pinot Grigio, with richer color, aromatics and flavors. The
grape skins are naturally reddish- gray, yielding a uniquely beautiful
and flavorful wine due to our fermenting the wine on its colorful skins
in the historic tradition of northern France. The result is a distinct
peach-like hue with rich texture, good tannic structure and complex
layers of fruit-forward flavor. It was hand-harvested, then made totally
sur-lie in stainless steel at low temperatures with no malolactic
fermentation. It has bright acid and lush aromatics with layered flavors
of honeysuckle, apricot and white peach, mingled with citrus and a long,
refreshing close. 95 cases produced

Muscat 809 Clone –
Russian River
Valley - $29
Our Chardonnay covers a series
of cool microclimate vineyards, each planted with unique historic vine
cuttings called “clones.” Each is chosen to show the optimal mix of
site, vine and desired winemaking style. Chardonnay Dijon Clone 809,
known as the Muscat Clone, was originally isolated in Burgundy. It is
prized in cooler climates for intense floral and tropical aromatics with
rich mouth feel which strongly resemble the Muscat grape varietal. This
is a rare and delightful single-clone Chardonnay. Just like our flagship
Unoaked Chardonnay, this is also made totally sur-lie in stainless steel
at low temperatures with no malolactic fermentation. It showcases the
powerful aromatic beauty and lush flavor of the Muscat Clone, with a

2009 Late Harvest
Zinfandel – Russian River Valley - $25
The 2009 harvest conditions provided our first
chance since 2003 to create a special style of late harvest from our top
old clone mountain Zinfandel blocks. The grapes were given extra weeks
on the vine to achieve intense character and higher sugar levels, then
carefully hand-harvested and vinified to preserve the delicate fruit.
The luscious is deep garnet color wine, with silky texture and complex
fruit layers of dried cherry and blackberry fruit cobbler, jammy black
raspberry, and sweet mission fig with notes of licorice and vanilla
spiced caramel. It may remind you of a vintage ruby, but the flavor and
finish are cleaner and less cloying on the palate, with less alcohol and
sugar. 190 cases produced

with Russian River Pinot Noir. The mid pallet has some nice spice notes.

blends; this clone is rarely (if ever) bottled on its own. Has a
tendency to accentuate bright red fruits. Often used to show off
aromatics, has an ethereal quality to its structure, teasing the pallet
with an almost fog-like quality. You know it is there, but difficult to
touch and feel. This clone rounds out the pallet nicely in blends. 1

Dijon Clone 459 - Not as common in Russian
River blends, a real gem. Can stand alone and is very popular with our
wine club members, this clone has lots of spice reminding one of a
Persian market. Wonderful cedar notes hit the mid-pallet with a nice
finish. In blends, a little can go a long way. 1 barrel - 22 cases
