TIME TO CELLAR UP
Believe it or not, it's almost summer. And, while we welcome the growing season, the long summer night and getting a nice tan on the arms, we also regret summer because, unless there is some sort of long cold spell across the land, we don't ship out our wines. It's too hot and we don't trust the delivery folks not to stick your wine in a hot delivery truck while they have lunch.
So stock up now, while the weather is still good for shipping your wine in the safest way possible.
And, we have several new wines that have just been released for you to stock up on!
CURRENT SELECTIONS AVAILABLE
PINOT NOIRS
2013 pinot noir - sonoma coast - NEW RELEASE!
"The second blend of our line up, and first of our reds, the Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir was a classic California Pinot, with toasty and rich aromas of baking spices and dark cherries, black tea, and red berries. The palate is extremely juicy, with balanced tannins, and has a heavy oak influence finish. We gave this easy drinking classic California Pinot Noir a 93/100 points"

2013 pinot noir holder vineyard
Savory notes of marjoram and sandalwood hardly hint at the exuberant, sweet palate of cherry-raspberry-cranberry sauce that makes the 2013 Holder Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir ($68) such a pleasure."

2013 pinot noir vdk
This is the big brother to our Van der Kamp Vineyard bottling, and represents the confluence of our experimental nature and passion for tradition. A medium, ruby-red color introduces a complex bouquet of leather, tar, brined olives, crushed herbs, and dried rose petals. Flavors of dried fruits, sumac, anise and lavender float across the palate. Smooth, soft
tannins are balanced by perfect acidity that creates a lingering, red-fruited finish. Drink now or over the next 10 years or more.

2013 sonoma coast chardonnay - NEW RELEASE & IT'S ALMOST SOLD OUT!
“This is a gorgeous, rich, medium to full-bodied ‘13 ... with stunning purity... an impressive Burgundian-style Chardonnay. 94 points - Robert Parker. ORDER NOW
2013 pratt chardonnay - NEW RELEASE!
The first of the single vineyards we tried, just based off those nose we could tell this was a different Chardonnay. The nose was much brighter, had more of an acidic nose and freshness to it. We got notes of starfruit, lemon, and more unripe tropical fruits, with the mineral backbone showcasing a lot stronger on this one. The finish was zesty and came in somewhat hot, with a restrained note of oak. Although different, it was still very good, almost more Burgundian style. We gave this a 90/100 points.

2013 chenoweth chardonnay - NEW RELEASE!
"When I see Chenoweth Vineyards, I think of the Sonoma winery Patz & Hall, which makes a vineyard-designate Pinot Noir of that name. It's hard to believe the 2013 Chenoweth Vineyards Sonoma Coast Chardonnay ($48) was fermented in all-neutral oak. The cool but toasty aroma first brings to mind a shortbread cookie by the hearth on a winter's evening, but the season soon turns in the glass, and our cookie is instead roasting on the beach, slathered in coconut lotion. Pineapple flavor picks up the tropical theme, while crisp, just-ripe pear freshens up the butterscotch candy finish."
