Red Wine
This wine was made with clones of Syrah from the Coast View Vineyard, for its distinctive minerality. This Syrah is deep, intense, nearly inky purple in color. The nose oers hints of plums, hard spices and coee. The front of the palate is brooding and intense, oering plums, red berries and cassis and then opening into warm spices and bright acidity on the mid pallet.
The 2008 Monterey Pinot was sourced 10% our Russell Estate Vineyard in Corral de Tierra and 90% from the Silacci Vineyard at the northern end of the Santa Lucia Highlands. This wine is a classic cold weather pinot with jewels coloring and bright berry flavors.
This is a blend of Merlot and Syrah from the Spur, Alta Loma and Russell Estate vineyards. It o ffers red fruit, wild strawberry and notes of hard spices.
This wine begins with a powerfully floral nose offering rose petals, stone fruit flowers and hints of chocolate. On the pallet, the wine begins with soft cherry, cassis, blueberry and red fruits and grows to a long bright finish that classically portrays the River Road terroir characteristics.
This classic full bodied Bordeaux style wine was created with a 20-20-20-20-20 field blend of malbec, cabernet franc, petit verdot, merlot and cabernet sauvignon.
A complex combination of hard spices, cherries and dark red fruit notes
combine with a forest-y, mushroom-y, smoky base note that is a distinctive
characteristic of the Tondre vineyard. This wine will make an exceptional
pairing with earthy mushroom dishes and rich roasted pork entrees.
