2006 Hawk Hill Chardonnay (Russian
River Valley) $27
The Hawk Hill vineyard is out near Bodega towards the Sonoma Coast and
produces outstanding Chardonnay fruit; in fact the best I’ve ever
used. It suits the style of Chardonnay I wanted to make. It
has intense fruit, crisp acid and less reliance on oak for flavor. Uncommon
richness, citrus, tropical fruit flavors and a long finish make it a great
match with food. 308 cases produced.
2005 Hillside Zinfandel (Sonoma County) $25
See why the Colorado Wine News wrote that this wine was runner-up as
the best Zinfandel at this year’s ZAP Festival at Fort Mason.
Intense raspberry fruit, great richness and good acidity all give
the wine intensity and complexity without the heaviness of excess
alcohol and oak. The fruit is from a vineyard in Russian River
on Limerick Lane (70%) and from the EnglandCrest vineyard here
at the winery. 283 cases produced.
2005 SHIRAZ (Sonoma Valley) $17
The Shiraz is a selection from the barrels of Syrah that I make, looking for wines that I can bottle earlier than the more age-worthy Syrah. While this year’s wine is bigger than previous versions, it is meant for consuming earlier than the Syrah. In 2005 the wine comes from the Australian Shiraz clone grown at the Salmina vineyard in Kenwood (50%), Rubaiyat vineyard on Sonoma Mountain (25%) and from some of the vines planted in front of the winery (25%). Somewhat Australian in inspiration with it’s ripe fruit, soft tannin, low acid and nice touch of oak on the finish. 262 cases produced.
2006 LATE HARVEST RED WINE (Sonoma
Valley) 500 ml $25
In 2006 my late harvest Zinfandel from the Stonetree vineyard was improved
by the addition of a small amount of dessert wines wine from Pinot
noir and Syrah, together with a tiny amount of Zinfandel juice from
the ’07 harvest. Stonetree vineyard produces wonderful
dessert wines as the late harvest Zinfandel retains wonderful acidity
and tannins to balance the richness of the sweeter wine. The
addition of the Pinot and Syrah has given additional complexity and
richness to also balance the sweetness. A great match with bittersweet
chocolate. 146 cases produced.
2006 PORT (Sonoma Valley) 500mL $26
This port is made from Syrah using fruit from three different vineyards;
about 1/3 from in front of the winery, 1/3 from the Rubaiyat vineyard
on Sonoma Mountain and 1/3 from the Salmina vineyard in Kenwood. I
strive to get richness in the Port, yet without the excess of being
too sweet or too alcoholic. A great way to end the meal with good dark
chocolate or blue cheese. 272 cases produced.
