2011 SEXT Riesling
Playful aromatics of orange blossom and white flowers show-off up front, while lime peel, cold cream and green apple candy are persistent until the wine hits your tongue. The palate is light to moderately weighty, with fresh ripe pear and high-toned spice notes, and has the beautiful balance of succulent sweetness with bright, juicy acid. Truly a mouthwatering, refreshing Riesling.

2010 Stoller Vineyards Pinot Noir

This wine is a classic example of what finesse Stoller Vineyards can show on a cooler year.  Always warmer than our other sites, this Pinot shows dense, dark cherry, red plum, and raspberry preserves.  Typical earthiness and brown spice is accented by delicate violets, truffle, and vanilla.  The structure is still firm, chewy and lengthy, but will evolve, soften and open with additional time.

2011 3 Vineyard Pinot Gris
A very floral, fruity, and surprisingly rich Gris! This wine has flashy gardenia and jasmine flowers upfront, with pink grapefruit, lychee, pineapple, and fresh peach in its fruit-basket. The palate is pretty and mouth-filling, with layers of sweet fruit, slate, tangy acid and an amazing breadth and length that linger after the wine is gone. A great pair for Thai food!

2009 Ridgecrest Pinot Noir

This wine is the oldest of the four vineyard-designated Pinot Noirs we produce. It is characteristically brawny, briery, dusty black-fruited. Deep, sweet fruit has been balanced with fine tannin structure, which, with good acidic structure, gives good ageability.

2011 Grüner Veltliner
Fruit and spice meld, with ripe peach, stone, white flower, licorice, white pepper aromas and flavors, with great texture and weight, ending in a ripe white fruit finish.

2009 3 Vineyard Pinot Noir
Precocious, lush, deeply colored and seductive, wine spice and fruits dominate with pie cherry and dried cherry, plummy blue and black fruit, tea leaves and gingerbread, molasses, nutmeg; excellent weight and elegant—in a word, sensual.

2009 Reserve Pinot Gris

Pale golden color with oily, filling, yellow fruit. The palate is bone dry but the luscious roundness makes it appear much more mouth-watering and full. There is a lingering presence of lychee fruit, slate, Earl Gray tea, soft vanilla, sage, and balanced acid. Very powerful and beautiful at the same time.

2010 Corral Creek Vineyards Pinot Noir
Delicious savory and smoky notes reminiscent of a backyard grilling session are accented with fresh strawberries, chocolate cherries, and fresh earth. Bright, lively acid on the tongue and a silky, breezy tannin through the finish, great balance and clean on the palate.

2010 Stoller Pinot Blanc
A big, old-style Pinot Blanc; high-toned and dry tasting, with wood character, pear, lemon zest, and grapefruit; richness of pudding and shortbread, with some heat and very slight tonic bitters finish; good balance and a full wine in all ways.

2009 Wind Ridge Pinot Noir
Deep purple-garnet, with red and black fruit and pepper aromatics; great weight and emollience, with a firm tannin grip and balance for aging; blackberry and black cherry flavors extending in a long finish. Voluptuous.

2010 Reserve Dry Riesling

This is a serious Riesling, a big wine with brilliant, rich fruit, bright acid, and a weighty palate. The acidity provides ageability and great structure. It is harvested late with full ripeness and a touch of botrytis, giving the most intense dry Riesling we can make.

2008 Statement Pinot Noir

2010 Corral Creek Riesling
This Riesling is wonderfully intense and bright. The aromatic nose hints at talc, slate, honeysuckle, candied ginger, kiwi fruit, dried apricot, and clover-honey. There is a perfect balance on the palate of residual sugar, firm structural acid, weight, and a clean, silky finish. This is a true cellarable wine to impress friends, year after year.

2010 Gamay Noir

Moderate, purple-garnet color. Expressions of earth, peat, and tea leaf show richness and complexity, while a fruit forward palate consisting of black cherry, strawberry and acid show finesseand youth. This rustic, spicy, cool-vintage Gamay is a wonderful complement to anything from grilled meats to wood-fired pizza or a meatier fish and pasta.

2010 INOX® Chardonnay

This quintessential INOX® shows a great balance with relatively low alcohol for the year and bright acid; the length is lovely and the weight rich, with a supple, silky texture; flavors linger, with cherry and peach accents.

2007 Reserve Pinot Noir

Moderate-dark red/purple color; sensual, elegant nose with oak and red-black fruits; great velvet texture, broad in dimension; great acid, with an ageable balance and a very rich finish. Look for greatness here.

2009 Ian's Reserve Chardonnay

This chardonnay is a varietal pinnacle, with warm-year influences of ripe peach or pear and baked apple with a touch of nutmeg, buttered pastry crust or creamy bread pudding, and golden raisins. The mouth encounters a rich, full structure, with tannin worthy of moderate age, as well as glycerol and length. Overall, a very beautiful blonde.

2009 Reserve Pinot Noir

This Pinot is truly reserve status. It opens with soft, sensual, ripe red fruits, berry pie, sun-warmed strawberries and sweet red cherry. On the nose you encounter cinnamon gum and baking spice, shuffled with tea, dark chocolate and cigar box. The finish is still young and firm, but there is delicacy and ageable notes from lilac blossom and pine resin. A wonderful wine for years to come.
