2009 Releases
2007 Rockpile Zinfandel ~ Our inventory of the 2006 Rockpile portfolio is very low. We are releasing the 2007 vintages from this year-in, year-out outstanding appellation.
Napa/Sonoma Magazine Article
2007 Senal ~ This blend features the varietals that thrive in the Rockpile Appellation. Zinfandel-of course; Petite Sirah-always; Cabernet Sauvignon-not a wallflower; and surprise, Syrah-who knew?
2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ~ This wine needs no introduction. We have let this wine mature a little longer before relase--but, now is the time. Why not gmake it a 2006 and 2005 vertical?
2007 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir ~ We are proud to announce the release of our 2007 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. This very small production wine features the best of this Pinot loving appelation. Only 140 cases were made, so do not hesitate to enjoy popular wine.
2007 Russian River Valley Chardonnay ~ Another Great Year! Given the popularity of this wine, we did not deviate from the original production methods of making this wine entirely in stainless steel, left sur lie for four months, and no malolactic fermentation. This method guarantees to reveal the true nature of Chardonnay fruit--kiwi, green apples, pineapple and grapefruit flavors abound--the perfect every-day glass of wine.
2008 Napa Valley Petite Rose ~ We are releasing to the general public this spectacular value that in its initial vintage was only available to our wine club members. This Rose wine is another great quaff on that warm summer day. It is a dry wine with hints of the noble petite sirah dark fruit repertoire.
2007 Rockpile Petite Sirah ~ The Rockpile delivers, yet again. In its second vintage, our Petite Sirah from this, year-in and year-out, appellation of renown, is a dark fruit purpled beauty whose balance of acid and tannins keeps this giant very gentle. Another very small lot of 140 cases will not be around long--get going!
2006 Jazz ~ Why not order this wine with our 2005 Jazz for a "flight" of music on the palette? The 2006 performance maintains the virtuoso crendtials established by our previous vintages. We just returned from New York, and our visit was capped by an evening at the club where American Jazz began--The Blue Note. Our "Jazz" is a featured best-seller at this prestigious establishment.
2006 Rockpile Zinfandel ~
2006 Rockpile Senal ~ Rockpile in the House! We would like to introduce the latest vintages from the appellation that Rocks! The Rockpile continues to dazzle with its unique terroir that imparts to both of these wines such vibrant character and depth--rarely found in such youthful vines. 2006 was a wonderful year in Sonoma County for grapes--a long growing season with stable weather and no wild heat or cold spikes.
2005 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ~ Our latest release and first for 2008 is our Obsidian and Taplin vineyards' presentation. 2005 was another great year to be a farmer in Napa with both great Quantity and Quality. The fruit bursts with dark flavors and the wine maintains the tradition of balance we strive for in all of our wines.
2006 Napa Valley Petite Sirah ~ We are very excited about this release of our traditional "purple-tongue club" namesake. This wine is now a balanced blend of the wonderful Chiles Valley and our Obsidian Vineyard's Petite Sirah! The traditional bold structure is still evident, as well as the deep dark fruits and the intricate balance.
