This RESERVE bottling is made from selected lots that stay a longer time in barrel to amplify richness and complexity.  Roussanne's elusive aromas are resiny and honeyed with overtones of alpine wildflowers.  The color is golden.  Its flavors are dry, expansive, and otherworldly.

Our 2010 EASTON Estate Zinfandel was featured on the cover of the Wine Enthusiast and received great scores from many publications. This wine has developed even more in the bottle rewarding us with great depth of flavors. This wine is a good example of our cellar aging program. Bill releases no wine before it is ready to drink.

CELLAR RELEASE

This single vineyard Syrah is from the oldest Syrah vineyard in the Sierra Nevada (est. 1982) and one of the most famous Syrah sites in California. The parcel is planted all on its own roots. The vines originate from the Chapoutier Hermitage property (UCD Clone 1). We have made a special bottling of this wine, grown just down the road from the winery, since 1990.

Earlier this year this wine was offered to our Elevage club members, and now to you. Limited quantity.

Color is dark purple, with complex aromas of cedar, tobacco, and asian spice box. The fruit is blackberry/ cassis/olive with a pleasant St. Julien-like texture, mineral-infused flavors, and sappiness. The wine has good balance, intensity, a plush texture, and length. We think this is the best Cabernet Sauvignon we have made to date.
