2009 Catie’s Corner Vineyard Viognier

*LIMITED RELEASE*

Catie's Corner Vineyard is located in the Russian River Valley, this cool climate site is planted on 110R rootstock with an unnamed Condrieu clone. We work closely with the grower, Saralee Kunde, to custom farm a block using organic viticulture and keep yields extremely low by dropping nearly half the fruit to create extremely intense wines. Wines from the vineyard, named after Saralee's daughter, offer pronounced citrus and floral characteristics balanced by vibrant acidity. Our 2009 Viognier is a beautifully aromatic wine with apricots, peaches, citrus and wildflowers on the nose. With a rich mouthfeel and bright acidity, this is a wonderfully expressive Viognier that will keep you interested. Our version has been aged in stainless to allow the natural characteristics of the varietal to show through.

The wine was bottled on February 26, 2010 and the wine will be released in the spring.

25 cases produced.  $39

2008 Split Rock Chardonnay

*LIMITED RELEASE*

The Vineyard: Split Rock Vineyard is in Petaluma Gap nestled on the western hillside of Sonoma Mountain, leaving it exposed to the cool

ocean breezes that funnel through the Petaluma wind gap throughout the growing season.  The vineyard is managed following the best practices laid out in California’s Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices. This less intrusive approach of sustainable winegrowing is environmentally responsible and increasingly recognized as vital to a terroir-based winegrowing philosophy.

Tasting notes: Pale yellow color.  Wonderful aromas of citrus (lemon custard) and hints of tropical notes (pineapple, passion fruit, grapefruit), and just a subtle hint of crème brûlèe. On the palate, the wine has a soft, smooth entry with good tropical notes and a solid acid backbone at its core. The wine fills the palate but shows elegance and restraint as the oak is completely in the background with a nice, rich lingering finish.

25 cases produced.  $39
