2006 Old Vine Chenin Blanc, Meyercamp Ranch, Napa Valley

We sourced the fruit for this wine from vines planted in 1948. The three acre vineyard is carefully tended to by our team throughout the year and yield’s about 6 tons annually. The fruit is harvested at first light and whole cluster pressed to tank for cold settling. The juice is then barrel fermented and aged sur lie for 8 moths in neutral French oak barrels. About 30% of the wine is put through Malolactic fermentation to round out the acid and add another layer of complexity to this wine.

2006 Late Harvest Chenin Blanc, Meyercamp Ranch, Napa Valley

At over 60 years old, our Chenin Blanc vines produce a very small amount of rich and flavorful fruit. We decided to allot about 1 acre of vines to the Late Harvest program. After spending an extra 35 days hanging on the vines, the yield was less than 2 tons. The fruit (nearly raisins at this point) was pressed and fermented down to 4% sugar. Served chilled, this is a refreshing glass of wine that pairs well with a warm lemon tart or fruit cobbler.

2006 Bella Rosa Sangiovese, Napa Valley

Don't be fooled by the pale color of this wine, it has deep complexity and a full body for a Rosé. Our Bella Rosa (Beautiful Rose) was produced by “Bleeding” juice from the Sangiovese prior to fermentation. The French call this technique “Saignée”. The wine was fermented dry and aged for 8 months in neutral oak barrels. Best served chilled by the pool side or with a cheese and dried fruit plate.

2006 Sangiovese, Eakle Ranch, Napa Valley

Our Sangiovese vines thrive in the warm Pope Valley sun producing rich and flavorful fruit. Prior to fermentation some of the juice was drained from the tank (a process called “Saignée”) to create our Bella Rosa. This process not only yields a beautiful Rosé, but it helps to concentrate the remainder of the wine. After 12 months in French oak barrels our Sangiovese exhibits all the complex flavors this varietal has to offer.
