2005 Peregrine Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Santa Barbara County

This is the first release of our fourth blended wine, Peregrine, from the Sta. Rita Hills appellation in Santa Barbara County. It expresses the tannic structure, herbed nuance, and ...more beautiful fruit of the appellation with boldness and finesse. The Santa Rita Hills appellation is a cool-climate growing region, which stretches between Lompoc and Buellton in a series of rolling east-west hills. The coastal fog and winds influence the climate and cool the area, yielding concentrated fruit and wines with complexity and excellent structure. Named for the peregrines which have made a resurgence in the region after a successful reintroduction program, this wine does a great job of expressing the character of the appellation through fruit sourced from the Sanford and Benedict Vineyard and La Encantada Vineyard, two terrific sites for Pinot Noir.

2004 Pinot Noir
Santa Lucia Highlands

This wine is a testament to the cool climate and terroir of the Santa Lucia Highlands, a prime growing
region for Pinot Noir. Its spicy character, typical of this appellatio ...moren, is coupled with an amazing depth
of tart red cherry fruit. This wine was aged 16 months in tight-grained Hungarian oak, a barrel choice
that complements rather than dominates the delicate Pinot Noir fruit and produces a smooth, silky
mouthfeel. The palate is well structured, with rich, gorgeous colour and smooth tannins to ensure ageability.

Nose: Complex, with red and black fruits, licorice and a hint of oak.

Palate: Spicy, with an amazing depth of tart red cherry fruit, enhanced by some earthiness. Finishes
clean and fresh. Balanced.

2005 Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley

"The color is medium to dark cherry red. In the nose there are hints of leather, rose, spices and a touch of toasty oak. It is full bodied and quite intense. This young Pinot is co ...moremplex and full of flavor followed by a long, lingering finish. This wine is tightly wound now but will relax with a little time in the bottle and will reward patient cellaring over the next two to ten years."

2006 Pinot Noir, Windsor Oaks Vineyard

Our first vintage working with four separate blocks from a site that already shows us its potential to be outstanding. At first sniff, pomegranate, rose petals and cherries rise up ...more to greet you. Then an epicurean sip unveils ripe red cherry, plumb and fig wrapped in a velvet mouthfeel with a hint of tea leaves on the finish. A lighter ruby-hued, medium-bodied wine showcasing the silky elegance of a classic Pinot. We look forward to getting to know this vineyard and to crafting wines from their fruit for many years to come.

2005 Regulus Pinot Noir

Aromas of strawberry, cinnamon bark, earth, and forest floor. On the palate strawberry, cherry and clove with a pleasing brightness. A delicious, medium-bodied wine. The main bo ...moredy of the wine comes from a field selection named for Joseph Swan, who brought in the original budwood from Burgundy. Although finicky even by Pinot standards, Swan can produce mouthwatering wines that showcase terroir and combine fruit, undergrowth (â€œsousboisâ€) and spice in a unique way among Pinot grapes.
