This is the most aromatic Sauvignon Blanc we have produced. Fresh kiwi and honeydew melon burst out of the glass. There is less grassy-ness and citrus this year, but more gooseberry and tropical mango notes. The wine is lusher this year, with more melon and pear on the palette. The acidity is there, but not sharply, so balances out the palette. More tropical fruit rounds out the finish. This is an extremely bright fragrant wine which is meant to be enjoyed in its youth when nicely chilled.

The wine is deep pink and very fragrant. Ripe strawberry and cinnamon spice are complemented by fresh roses and white pepper. The wine is richer and lusher than the color suggests, with flavors of sweet cranberry tart and wild berries. There is soft acidity here, but just enough to balance the viscosity. This Rosé is best chilled on a sunny patio day, or would match wonderfully with almost any hors d'oeuvre.

Honeysuckle and Bosque Pear are immediate on the nose of the 2011 Sangiacomo Chardonnay. The nose also offers hints of white pepper, caramel, lily-perfume with some soapstone minerality. This Chardonnay has good viscosity, which becomes richer in time. More tropical notes of mango and pineapple are present on the palette. The residual Malic acid balances out the viscosity of this weighty wine. Bright with fruit in its youth this wine will develop nicely over the next 7-8 years (2019-2020).

The 2011 Savoy Chardonnay is more fragrant than in previous years. Rose perfume, white pepper and fresh lilies fill the glass. This moves to butterscotch and red apples. Lush and silky on the mid-palette flavors of full cream custard; flint minerality and lemon rind come through. Fresh acid balances the lush palette. Fresh honey lingers on the finish. It is a bright wine which will be best over the next few years peaking after 4-5 (2016-2017).

Cherry blossom and rosewater perfume immediately abound from the glass on the 2011 Savoy Pinot Noir. Beautiful graphite, licorice and white pepper spice are also apparent. A velvety mouthfeel leads straight into flavors of raspberry, cranberry tart and cocoa. The soft to medium tannin is almost pushed over by crisp firm acidity. This wonderful wine will hold extremely well over the next 6-7 years (2018-2019).

The 2011 Donnelly Creek is more of a deeper richer style of Pinot. Black cherry, boysenberry and pomegranate dominate the primary aromatics, while dusty cinnamon and cedar are more apparent afterwards. This is the richest Donnelly Creek yet. Similar fruit from the nose comes out on the pallet, but more spice (mostly ground pepper) is much stronger here. Very firm tannins are balanced by the acidity. This full rich wine will hold nicely over the next 7-8 years (2019-2020).

Fresh bing cherries, ripe blueberries and pencil lead define the first aromatics off the 2011 Tina Marie. More floral (violets) and perfume aromas begin to emerge with a peppery spiciness in the background. On the velvety palette juicy pomegranate emerges. White chocolate, licorice and cinnamon is also apparent. There is some fresh acidity on this wine, with slightly softer tannins, suggesting more youthful drinking. The wine should develop nicely over the next 4-5 years (2016-2017).

With a deep purple core the 2010 Merlot is deceptively bright in its youth. Fragrant raspberry and soft white pepper spice are balanced with sweet vanilla and deep fennel. After a few swirls of the glass black cherry and blueberry tart aromas emerge with some subtle gravel minerality. This year the mouthfeel is silky and lush with more of the same range of fruit as the nose, but with a larger degree of minerality. The tannins are moderately chalky without being overbearing. The wine finishes with dark cocoa and riper raspberry. This wonderful wine will age beautifully over the next 7-8 years (2019-2020).

Nearly black in color the Petit Verdot is the darkest variety we work with. The aromatics match the color with blackberry fruit, mashed violets and dark licorice being most apparent on the nose. True to the variety there are strong underpinnings of minerality on the nose, including gravel and flint. Very viscous on the palate many strong flavors start to appear just before the tannins hit. Violets, cooking chocolate and coffee are the most evident flavors. Make no mistake, this is a tannic wine. The acidity is present but the tannins run the palate. This wine will only benefit from a long period of aging, 18-22 years (2030-2034).

Dark purple in its youth the 2010 Spring Mountain Cabernet has an immediate core of pure black fruit, mostly Cassis and Blackberry. Full fennel/black licorice and crushed violets are also prevalent. The dark mountain earth minerality is balanced by sweet vanilla bean aromatics from the oak. The wine is quite plush with concentrated raspberry and more gravel mineral tones on the palette. The tannins this year are very firm, with natural mountain acid to balance demanding some time in the bottle to show its best.

With its deep purple core this wine is immediately bursting with Blackberry and blueberry tart. Sweet vanilla spice and cinnamon toast are balanced by the subtle graphite and crushed floral elements. This is an extremely lush wine with cherry compote and milk chocolate on the mid palette. The moderately chalky tannins are balanced by the restrained acidity. Although surprisingly appealing in its youth, this wine will benefit from 10-11 years of bottle age (2022-2023).

Rich in color the 2010 Rattlesnake Hill is powerful and layered on the nose. Aromatics of fennel, black earth and black tea are wrapped in sweet dark chocolate, blackberry and concentrated vanilla. A whole kitchen cabinet of spices begins to emerge, chiefly nutmeg and cinnamon. The mouthfeel is silky and opulent. On the palette concentrated cassis gives way to cedar and graphite while the chalky tannins begin to emerge. Black fruit and cocoa linger on the finish for a long time. This vintage will show wonderfully after 15-16 years (2027-2028), but will hold much longer for those with patience.
