2010 Grist Vineyard Zinfandel
Finding and producing the ultimateZinfandel has been my passion for over 20 years. This Zin comes from a famous vineyard located 1500 feet above Dry Creek Valley. The vines grow in red, mostly volcanic, soil. The terroir influenced the bright, firm acidity and concentrated the wild berry aromas. The finish is long, juicy, and appetizing. 190 cases made.

2009 Cabernet SauvignonThis 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. 371 cases made.

2009 Windsor Oak Vineyard Pinot Noir
This vineyard is planted on the hilly east end of the Russian River Valley. Judicious use of French oak barrels only amplifies the varietal character without obstructing it. The meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard and great terroir produced near perfect fruit. The wine is a great example of Pinot Noir, known for its intriguing and seductive nuances of cherry fruit, wild berries, rose petals and spices.
