    Alma Rosa Winery (Buellton, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
    2007 Pinot Noir View Label
  • Appellation: Santa Rita Hills
  • Winemaker: Christian Roguenant
  • Positively brimming with fruity aromatics and flavors, we find this wine (made from grapes from our certified organic estate vineyards) dominated by a mix of fresh crushed berries and dark cherries, shot through with a floral-spice element and a beet-root-meets-cola essence. The wine showcases the dark rich side of Pinot Noir and already has a supple smooth texture with clean acidity. We’d suggest roasts and grilled meats as accompaniments; barbeque shrimp with grits; pan-roasted salmon filets... ...read more

    2006 Verve Sonoma Coast View Label
  • Appellation: Sonoma Coast
  • Pinot Noir
  • Winemaker: Loren Tayerle
  • The 2006 Sonoma’s North Coast harvest varied greatly within its sub-appellations. Our cool climate vineyards (Freestone and Petaluma Gap) kept the yields down and the acidity. This vintage of our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir benefits from the addition of some of our Russian River Valley cuvee, and more than a hint of that appellation does show: on the lush base of bright red Sonoma Coast cherry and strawberry fruit, layers of dark cherry, Asian spice and orange peel add lovely complexity. Careful... ...read more

    2006 Verve Pinot Noir Russian River
  • Appellation: Russian River Valley
  • Winemaker: Loren Tayerle
  • The backbone of this blend comes from one of our favorite vineyards in the Russian River Valley located between Sebastopol and Forestville on gently sloping hills. In 2006, we added one other vineyard, from west of Sebastopol, planted 8 years ago with clones 777 and Cruz. The multiple sun exposures and the diverse clonal selection of our vineyards enables us to be flexible with our picking dates for an optimum maturity of our different blocks.

    Aubin Cellars (Oakland, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
    2006 Verve Pinot Noir Dundee Hills
  • Appellation: Dundee Hills
  • Winemaker: Loren Tayerle
  • This vibrant wine comes from 115 and 777 clone vines in the sustainably farmed Stoller Vineyard located in the Dundee Hills AVA of the Willamette Valley. The volcanic red clay and loam soil of this specific site is very appropriate for Pinot Noir. The restrained Burgundy winemaking techniques used for this younger vine Pinot Noir enhance the richness and complexity of what is inherently an elegant and pretty wine. The gentle winemaking also preserves the wine’s bright red fruit characters th... ...read more
