A busy holiday season is right around the corner — and these new vintages are just in time!
Settle into fall with our latest releases, which feature wines that showcase the nuance and complexity of the Russian River Valley.
With the complexity and depth of flavor gained from seven years of en tirage aging, our stunning 2014 vintage opens with rich, aged characteristics of toasted hazelnuts, honeycomb and salted caramel on the nose. The delicate, fine mousse leads to a beautifully balanced, expressive sparkling wine. Notes of baked lemon, creamy custard and fresh, warm sourdough at the forefront of the palate are layered with hints of Bosc pear, strawberry and raspberry before a bright, crisp finish.
A distinctive and memorable expression of our Annapolis Ridge Vineyard, a rugged, mountaintop site just a few miles from the coast in far northern of Sonoma County. Concentrated fruit notes of plum, blackberry, fruit leather and raspberry coulis blend at the forefront for a stunning opening. Deeper into the silky palate, layered hints of sage, coriander, star anise and dried autumn leaves add appealing texture and weight.
Winemaker Nicole Hitchcock’s wine of the month for October, this wine is a wonderful reflection of this cool-climate site. Aromas of dark plum and date carry through to the plush, layered palate. Showcasing the concentration and depth of this outstanding vintage, generous notes of dark cherry, fig and baked berries are complemented by hints of clove, mocha and forest floor. Fine tannins and bright acidity provide balance, structure and lift.
Generous aromas of ripe melon, honeysuckle and jasmine on the nose give this Pinot Gris an expressive start. Smooth and incredibly flavorful, offering richness and depth at the mid-palate as layered notes of juicy pear, white peach, ripe citrus and sweet green apple are contrasted by hints of florals and minerality. The wine’s bright, lively acidity brings a delightfully crisp and refreshing finish, and is a beautifully distinguished reflection of the Russian River Valley.
