and with John Kongsgaard at Luna. She has even worked at wineries in Australia, Bordeaux, and Burgundy!
Nicole's Notes: "The 2008 Carneros growing season was quite a ride full of extremes. Spring was one of the coldest since the early 70’s hitting us with frost after bud-break in March. Some blocks were protected due to the proximity to the San Pablo Bay and others required extra care and attention. May then brought on record high temperatures followed by dry winds and unusual rains. The rest of the summer progressed fairly evenly until September hit us with a long hot spell followed by significant drops in temperature. Not too worry though- roller coasters can be fun. Overall this resulted in lower yields and smaller berries which amounted to more concentrated high quality wines. Yeah!
"Those characteristic wild strawberry and forest floor notes mingle with dried violets and sweet plums both on the nose and in the mouth. There is a juicy depth not quite as deep as the oceans, but broad and expansive that lingers on and on."

In charge of winemaking is world-reknowned winemaker Denis Malbec. Denis might be most famous for his time spent making wine at Chateau Latour in Bordeaux, and he also fashios the high-scoring wines at Kapcsandy in Napa Valley.
This Sauvignon Blanc is a ringer for a white wine from Bordeaux's Graves region. Fermented in 1/3 new, 1/3 neutral, and 1/3 stainless steel barrels, the wine is exceptionally aromatic showing flowers, grapefruit, citrus zest, melon, and marshmallow. The wine is rich, round, and packed with flavor, yet it still retains good acidity to keep it fresh and light on its feet.

grew into obsession and obsession was fused into the most conventional aspects of their youth. .ey spent and sacrificed more than many their age to become veterans in their fields. Then, they moved away and lost touch as life unfolded before them.
Over time, each was drawn to a region of quiet treasure: the Santa Maria Valley. James’ vineyard set upon his family’s ranch was the setting of the reunion of these two friends. This time, they were prepared to turn each other’s passion into a partnership which seems to have been waiting for them all along. From there, they have shared affinity for all things homespun, historical and honest, which reflects the unflappable authenticity of the Santa Maria Valley.
Garnet red in appearance, this 2010 Pinot Noir’s captivating aromas are spicy with ripe cherries and strawberries.

Every so often, one of our wine distributors bring us a wine that throws us for aloop...this is one of those times! Mueller-Thurgau is a cross of two different varieties. This was Read More...
done by Hermann Mueller from the town of Thurgau (yes, coming up witha name is that easy!). As of 2006, it is the second most widely planted grape in Germany, yet is also planted in Austria, Italy, U.S.A., and Australia, among others. It is hard to think a grape this obscure would actually light a fire under us, but this wine offers so much flavor, texture, and sheer pleasure, that every single person who tried it with the vendor was amazed!
Anne Amie offers two renditions of their Muller Thurgau dessert wines, one called "Anne" and the other called "Amie". The Amie bottling was maderized and fortified to produce a Vin Doux Naturel styled dessert wine showing caramelized and nutty flavors that pair exceptionally with strong cheeses and candied almonds. We think this could be the perfect match with an apple pie!

So much, in fact, that Wine Spectator has stated that Archery Summit makes Oregon Pinot Noir that rivals Burgundy in quality! Any great winemaker will tell you that great wine starts with great grapes (a lot of greatness there), so to be as hands off as possible, they are Oregon’s first 100% gravity-flow winery in order to minimize damage and contamination of fruit or juice.

Burgundy color with a sparkling brilliance and great clarity. The wine opens with bright, clean flavors of black cherry and forest berries. The palate adds complexities of clove and nutmeg oak spice and hints of earthy tertiary flavors coming through. The long, elegant finish is complimented by Argyle's signature silky tannins. This is a wine that begs to be drunk now, but with self-control will pay the dividends of complexity and greater depth with aging.
