Meritage
|
2000 Meritage
Ladi's Vineyard, Sonoma County
The individual lots were made separately and blended after two years of barrel aging. The blend was then returned to our best French and American oak barrels for a third year, gi ... moreving the Meritage a wonderful smoothness and complexity that makes it a delight to drink when young, while retaining great aging potential. Ladi Meritage is a testament to the years of dedication, experimentation and accomplishment in the science and art of grape growing and winemaking. We produced 550 cases.

Sauvignon Blanc

2006 Sauvignon Blanc
Bright and Crisp, yet fuller and more generous than you expect with an uncommonly long finish.
Perfectly vine ripened grapes were hand sorted and whole-cluster cold pressed. ... more Multiple yeast fermentation started in a tank with the temperature slowly lowered to 45 degrees. The final stage of fermentation was in neutral oak barrels in our cool cave. Fermentation took five months, producing a generous amount of glycerin, contributing to the unique sensations it arouses in the mouth.
2006 was an exceptional vintage, especially for early ripening varietals like Sauvignon Blanc. The spring was warm and the summer mild. Winter rains waited until the last grapes were harvested.
This wine truly provides an unrivaled complexity and an exceptional depth.

Dessert Wine

2000 gold Late Harvest Botrytis dessert wine
This is one of the very few wines in the world that is made from grapes that are 100% engulfed with the "noble rot". The Sauvignon Blanc is from the Salinas valley and the Riesli ... moreng is from Napa. The blend adds even more complexity than had our previous single vineyard botrytis wines.

2001 Sangiovese
Roumiguiere Vineyard, Lake County
The nose is full of strawberries, cherries and flowers. The taste offers forward fruit with soft tannins and a gentle finish. The taste keeps growing more complex and interesting ... more as it lingers in the mouth. It's a delight by itself and really shines with Mediterranean-style food.

Pinot Noir

2002 Pinot Noir
Cohn Vineyard
The 2002 Cohn Vineyard Pinot Noir reflects the evolution in the reductive, fruit forward style that is sweeping California Pinot producers. It is lush and round toward the front wi ... moreth a more distinct berry component. Pinot goes with a wider variety of food than any other wine. We often pair it with grilled salmon and seared tuna. We have two other Pinots, the Jemrose Vineyard, Bennett Valley, which is even more fruit centric than is the '02 Cohn and an Ashton Vineyard, Sonoma Valley, that is floral and spicy.
