2006 Chardonnay
Santa Cruz Mountains

The 2006 Quenneville Chardonnay represents the Santa Cruz Mountains perfectly. The wines made from this vineyard are grown up elegant Chards, not young, reckless or impatient wines ... more that rush across your palate and are gone before you know it. At first approach the wine reveals a nutty aroma; and the backbone of caramelized oak that leaves you longing for a taste. As you sip the wine, you’re swept away in its velvety texture and heavy weight on the palate. The finish is crisp and to the point, yet it lingers with the flavor of surlies aging. All in all, this wine is a total package, one that should not be taken lightly. Cellar some for the next 5 years to see how it ages, but certainly have a glass tonight as it very approachable right now.

2006 Chardonnay, Redwood Hill
Santa Cruz Mountains

The Redwood Hill Chardonnay displays a beautiful vanilla aroma from the French oak and yeastiness from sur lees aging. Stopping here you might think it to be a typical California C ... morehardonnay, saturated and heavy-handed, but no, the crisp acidity is reminiscent of Granny Smith apples with a luscious pear aroma to round out the nose. I think of the Redwood Hill as a sipping wine, refreshing and elegant all in one. As Spring rolls around, savor this refreshing Chardonnay on a pleasant California evening with simply prepared fresh fish, perhaps a dozen or so oysters. Please enjoy, as I will certainly be doing the same.

2005 Cabernet Franc
Santa Cruz Mountains

This wine has charisma - fruity, velvety, and spicy all in one. The wine has a bay and wild sage aroma that reminds me of my childhood here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The palate ... morehas an interesting clove character balanced by elegant violet and raspberry notes. In my mind this wine is perfect, full of aroma and flavor, with a real sense of place. Most wines do not give you a complete sensory experience, but when you find one, it’s special and requires a special occasion to drink the wine. Whether your occasion is Easter dinner, or that it’s almost the weekend, sit back and take the time to enjoy this Cab Franc. I promise it will be worth it.

2004 Cabernet Sauvignon, Bates Ranch
Santa Cruz Mountains

The palate is rich and jammy, and the high alcohol and bold tannin belie this wine’s youth. The finish on the wine lingers, making it quite approachable now, so try pairing this ... morewine with your heartiest, richest meals as it can stand up to almost any food. Cellar this one for some time as it should develop beautifully over the next ten years.
