2008 Zinfandel
Winemaker’s Notes: The first impression is of a mélange of wild berries, cranberries and cherries; the nose is clean, focused and well-defined. Further aeration reveals intriguing Asian spices with elements of cocoa, vanilla and sweet oak. The wine has a firm structure with a long and juicy finish. Drink now or age for 2-5 years.

2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker’s description:This relatively young vineyard is planted nearly at the top of Pine Mountain at 2200 feet elevation above the valley of the Russian River. The moderate temperature inversion at that altitude supports softer, richer tannins in the wine, concentrated wild berry aromas and enhanced varietal specific flavors of dark fruit, slight earthiness and subtle spices. 190 css made.

"This is a ripe, lusty Zinfandel, with many special qualities to recommend it. It’s dry and rich in smooth tannins, and offers a flood of wild forest berry, sweet new leather, red currant, mocha and exotic Asian spice flavors. Delicious, and will hold for up to six years." - December 2009

"Miro has done an altogether remarkable job here at bringing a sense of winemaking polish to Petite Sirah without sacrificing the fundamental strength and sturdiness that are the varietal's signature gifts. Leading with very deep, slow-to-unfold aromas of blackberries, pepper and clove, the wine is rich and invitingly fruity with expansive, long-lasting flavors that show a bare hint of chocolate to the same themes of berries and spice. It is not at all sparing in tannin, yet it is never overly tough, and it is by all standards a complete and compelling effort. GOOD VALUE"

"Black- and blueberry fruit with spice notes...with a soft, seductive finish." - Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences April 22, 2010
"This starts with spicy, earthy and berry aromas and continues with a huge mouthful of blueberry fruit. The acid/fruit balance is perfect, and it has the structure to be able to age a long time."

"The 2007 Petite just blew me away! What a stunning wine, you have the touch to capture the best of the Petite's fruit-tannin-mouth-feel and color! It will hold for quite some time if you can resist drinking it now!! Save me some..." - Heinz Steiner
