Very tropical - Guava, Pineapple, Floral, juicy pear, fresh-cut apple, and fresh-cut melon. Grown in the cold left edge of Sonoma County in ancient Redwood Forest and old Apple Orchards, this is a lovely vineyard tucked up next to the Dutton Shop and is appropriately called the Shop Block - what else? It is the Musque clone of the Sauvignon Blanc grape and tends towards floral and guava aromas year after year. ONLY 373 cases were made.

Step One: Bleed off the low alcohol, low color juice at the press. Step Two: Take remaining grapes and skins and ferment to dryness, Step Three: Barrel down for 9 months after fermentation. Step four: Drink with a friend! We used these grapes to make our rose and then the balance of the skins were fermented . The resulting zinfandel wine is super concentrated, and deliciously rich. Spicy berry pie flavors and dark chocolate on smooth, velvety tannins. - Nancy

We use ancient winemaking techniques to make this lovely wine. It is dense, rich, complex and fully extracted. The grapes are crushed to tank, and then we use automatic punch down tools to gently mix and submerge the grape "cap" in the wine during fermentation. The result is all the fruit, flavor, color and richness that you are accustomed to and no harsh tannin. This wine is a joy to make, and has loads of blackberry, chocolate, and buttery pie-crust to compliment a big, blockbuster mouth full of fruity goodness. Only 168 cases (2,000 bottles) made. Try this wine, you will love it!! Nancy
The last 25 cases from our wine Library will set your taste buds alive!! Every single drop of this precious wine is so delicious and concentrated, smooth and pleasing to the pallet! Each person that tastes this wine comments on how much they love this varietal. It's an old vine field planting that yields only 1 ton of grapes per acre - and really shines with quality. Ripe and full-bodied, yet creamy smooth. Only 500 cases made of this lovely wine.

This vineyards is so tiny! It only ever produces about 100 cases of wine. We love our growers, they are a local family of Nick Ponzo and I used to make wine from his father's vineyards in Ukiah 30 years ago. Nick works next door to the winery and comes by to let me know when the grapes are getting ready for picking. Nick, his wife and children pick all the grapes themselves - now that is a labor of love!! These vines are all about 40 years old and don't look very impressive, but you will agree, that the wine we make is incredible!! It is rich, dense, dark and complex. This vineyard is located about 3 miles south of Healdsburg, just east of HWY101 near Milk Barn Road. The grapes love the cool foggy nights and the hot, warm days. Only 112 cases made, and it will go fast - so make sure to order a bottle today - you will love this wine!! ~~ Nancy
I L-O-V-E Monterey Pinot Noir! This wine is my favorite to drink at home. Our 2020 Pinot Noir, Monterey has dried cherry pit, red cranberry fruit, earthy-moist-loam, raspberries, dried herbs, and tar combine with leafy and earthy vine flavors. Subtle butterscotch, vanilla, and cotton candy aromas and flavors blend with all this fruit to make a wonderful sip. This well-balanced, elegant wine has a long delightful finish. The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness, 25.0 Brix for this vintage and the resulting fermentation ran for 8 days with mechanical punch down, pressing directly to barrel down with malo-lactic completing in the barrel.
Elegantly Rich; Masterfully Crafted; Decadently Layered; Powerfully Enticing, and Gracefully refined. Aromas of Cherry blossoms, Hibiscus and jasmine tea, creme brulee, buttercream, pie dough, cherry tart, caramel, tar, dried grass, herbs, crushed earth, cherry liquor, rose petals; with flavors of ripe red fruit, red licorice, and cotton candy, toasted oak, cola, smooth finish. I keep pairing Our Pinot Noir with Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt Caramel. The lovely match brings out the Cherry in the wine. Sante! Nancy
