    Heart O' The Mountain
    2007 Estate Pinot Noir View Label
    Heart O' The Mountain (Scotts Valley, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Brandon Brassfield
  • We have just released the 2007 vintage and are excited about it and its future. Previewed by the Brix Chicks (www.brixchicks.com) earlier this summer, they wrote that "this Pinot is the darker, more concentrated, voluptuous style of California Pinot Noir with aromas of cherry liqueur and cocoa. The palate tastes of dark red fruits and cinnamon spice. There is a lovely note of espresso on the finish.

    2008 Pinot Noir, Estate, Swan Clone
    McHenry Vineyards (Santa Cruz, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Henry McHenry
  • We are delighted to offer this wine that we made from a special block in our 2.3 acre vineyard at the top of Bonny Doon Road in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The vines derive from cuttings propagated from Joe Swan’s vineyard in the Russian River Valley. That vineyard is well known for their exceptional quality . We are delighted to find just how special the lineage of this clone is when nurtured by loving hands in the soil of Bonny Doon.

    Big Basin Vineyards
    2008 Alfaro Family Vineyard Pinot Noir View Label
    Big Basin Vineyards (Saratoga, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Bradley Brown
  • The wine possesses an exuberant nose of pomegranate, black cherry, brambleberry, wet stone, and hints of rose petals, sage, forest floor and sassafras. The wine is silky, full bodied and coats the palate evenly with cherry-rhubarb compote, pomegranate and a melange of black and red fruit. A solid mid-palate gives way to a long, lingering finish with beautiful fruit extract. The ’08 Alfaro is just beginning to open up after one year in bottle and we fully expect it to continue gaining weight an... ...read more

    Thomas Fogarty Winery
    2008 Pinot Noir View Label
    Thomas Fogarty Winery (Woodside, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Michael Martella
  • Windy Hill produces some of our most aromatic
    Pinot, packed with spice and floral
    notes over red fruits. The soaring nose is
    confirmed by the expressive palate- juicy
    red fruits, spice and a background of forestfloor.
    This wine is drinking quite well in its
    youth, but should evolve quite nicely over
    the next 5-7 years at minimum.

  • Winemaker: Jeff Emery

The vines were planted in 1988 in a site that originally had grapes since 1863. This vineyard has low yields of very flavorful fruit year after year. “This is an elixir meant to be loved right now, although it can certainly take a nap in your lovely cedar wine cabinet for a few years or so. This wine wants to dance in y... ...read more

    Beauregard Vineyards (Bonny Doon, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
  • Winemaker: Ryan Beauregard
  • Garnett hues with fine transparency give off aromas off Bing cherries and dried cranberries. The nose lingers with hints of baking spice such as; cocoa, cinnamon and vanilla. On the palate we are reminded that this is indeed Mountain Pinot with wonderfully expressive terrior showing cola and hints of celery root.
