2020 Albariño, Spanish Springs Vineyard

Limpid straw. Fresh pear and lime zest qualities on the incisive, mineral- and floral-accented nose. Penetrating and sharply delineated in the mouth, offering vibrant citrus and orchard fruit flavors along with honeysuckle and quinine flourishes. Finishes long and firm, with repeating florality and strong, mineral-driven persistence. This is quite an impressive example of New World Albariño. All stainless steel.

2014 Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands

Not only is this a great bottling at a judicious price, but it also shows a great deal of nuance from the appellation that often brings mostly power. Blackberry, beef, smoked game and pencil shavings show on the nose. The palate brings bright hibiscus and tart elderberry as well as graphite, thyme and bay-leaf flavors.

News from the Winemaker

We are quite proud of our current lineup of Pinot Noirs. These are great
food wines and are particularly restaurant friendly, especially if you are
in a part of the country where restaurateurs and sommeliers seek out
moderate levels of alcohol...all four wines at 13.5% alcohol. All of our Pinot Noirs are small production, sourced from sustainable vineyards, and made with minimal intervention in the cellar. They are extremely retail friendly with terrific scores.
Sales support materials are available on our website. 
Call, text or email for pricing and to place your order.

Cheers,
Stephen R. Dooley
