The average age of the vines that produced this wine is 72 years! What the vines lack in vigor is more than compensated by quality. It is a rich, full wine with flavors of blackberry, black pepper, mint, chocolate, coffee beans and cassis. Gold Medal winner.
This wine's aromas are most difficult to describe because they are neither floral nor fruity: forest floor, mushroom, white pepper, and black olives. Once swallowed, the huckleberry fruit jumps out in the mid-palate and stretches into a long, rich finish. Gold Medal winner.
Old vines have a distinct personality and Michele Young's Chenin vines' fruit makes a deliciously unique wine. In a series of four blending trials we added 9% Sauvignon Blanc which enhances Chenin's tropical flavors and 5% Chardonnay which adds a little apple-pear to the peachy mid-palate.
This wine is a blend from eight different grape varieties from ancient vines, and every lot was grown right here in Mendocino, supporting our hardworking neighbors. The aromas suggest black licorice, cypress, blueberry and toasty oak. The flavor profile is similar to Zinfandel's with juicy blackberry flavors; Cabernet Sauvignon adds a firm but flexible backbone of tannin.
“Juniper/ginger and other spices, in a bone dry wine that is ideal for Japanese food. One of the finest whites I have ever tasted, and still a baby! Unanimous gold medal; winery only.” -Dan Berger's VintageExperiences.com
Gold Medal winner. Best of Class.
We've been producing Rosés for 11 years from the varieties used in Southern France, so we were ready for a new twist with this Pinot Noir Rosé. Bottled fresh, the flavor profile is red cherry, strawberry with a mouth-filling peachy creaminess and enough intensity to accompany lamb or duck.
