Description

2010 Sean Thackrey "Cassiopeia" Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
There are actually five wines that make up the Cassiopeia project--four made from a single Dijon clone (114, 115, 167 or 777) all grafted to identical rootstock, planted at the same time, farmed identically and subject to the same exposure at the Wentzel Vineyard in the Anderson Valley. This, the fifth wine, blends all of the four clones to demonstrate how the characteristics of each informs the wine.

2009 Craftwork Pinot Noir (2 Bottles)
This wine shows tart strawberries and sour plums; nicely textured and balanced.

Road 31 Wine Co. 2009 Pinot Noir Napa Valley
Kent Fortner of Road 31 Wine Co. produces tiny batches of one handcrafted Napa Valley Pinot Noir. The label pays homage to the gravel road outside his grandparents homestead back in Kansas, where he was also born, and the green 66 Ford Truck that he drove regularly. The grapes were borrowed from the Stag's Leap District which really improves the wines quality like no other!

2010 J Vineyards Estate Grown Pinot Noir
Our 2010 Pinot Noir is a rich, ruby-red wine that vibrantly showcases its cool-climate Russian River Valley pedigree. Aromas of classic bright cherry fill the glass. The wine delivers earthy flavors of vanilla, black clove, toasted nutmeg, and smoky barbecue.
