	2009 Ferrington Vineyard Gewurztraminer, Anderson Valley
	Made in an Alsatian style, this completely dry Gewurztraminer is loaded with flavor and aromatics. The nose begins with beautiful layers of exotic, tropical fruits and white, floral blossom aromas. The bouquet is a combination of lychee, apricot, and lemon zest as well as blossom aromatics like honey suckle, gardenia, and rose petal. On the palate the delicate texture from barrel fermentation and the firm, natural acidity create a framework for the layers of fruit to unfold. Guava, lychee, and melon lead on the palate and are finished with a subtle hint of baking spice. Enjoy this wine over the next 3-5 years. More Details
	2009 Mononi Vineyard Pinot Gris, Russian River Valley
	This dry and refreshing wine opens with bright aromas of pear nectar and tangy citrus. Crisp flavors of butterscotch, ripe melon and apple pie are the result of a cold, slow stainless steel fermentation combined with just a touch of barrel fermented wine from the same lot. A versatile wine that is great for sipping on a warm day or pairing with a light meal. More Details
	2008 Smokey Ridge Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley
	Intense floral aromatics of lavender and rose petal accentuate crisp ripe blackberry and raspberry tones. Bright jammy berry flavors layered with hints of licorice and cocoa add depth and richness to a very elegant fruit forward wine. A delicate balance of tannins mixed with stellar fruit creates a wine drinkable now but also worthy of cellaring for several years. More Details
	2008 Bacigalupi Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
	The wine opens with a distinctive brambling fruit and spicy nose reminiscent of nutmeg, cinnamon, bay leaves and a hint of vanilla. Bright acidity accentuates intense cranberry and raspberry flavors on the palate. These mature old vines (Pommard and Wente Selection) express their age well by weaving depth and complexity throughout the pallet while bringing this medium bodied wine to a crisp lingering finish.

	2008 La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
	On the nose, the wine opens with red fruit aromas like raspberry or strawberry as well as a distinct spice element reminiscent of Asian 5 spice or white pepper. The flavors on the palate reinforce the nose. Red fruit like raspberry and pomegranate greet the mouth but as the wine finishes the fruit profile hints at slightly darker berries. Beautiful, firm acidity creates great structure and is common from wines grown in the cool Petaluma Wind Gap region. In addition subtle oak flavors like spice or caramel add layer and body to the wine and accentuate the silky finish. More Details
	2008 Mononi Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
	This classic Russian River Valley Pinot Noir leads with dark cherry and rose petal and underlying spicy cedar notes. Dark berry flavors immediately greet the palate. Persistent cherry and plum flavors are interwoven with subtle tannins that have been gently extracted from the 17 months spent in French oak barrels. The mouth feel is silky, lush. More Details
	2008 Toboni Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
	Earthy dark berry aromatics are mingled with cigar and sweet oak. Rich ripe stone fruit flavors of Bing cherry and plums are enhanced by cedar, vanilla and velvety tannins. A dark berry core surrounded by sarsaparilla notes and a hint of smoky oak create a luscious mouthfeel and a dry, fruity finish. More Details
