2011 Releases
2008 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ~ 2008 was quite a year to be a grape farmer in Napa County. Intense heat followed by heavy rains and a seasonal ending blast of frost for good measure was not for the faint of heart. The good news is yields were down, berries were beautiful, and the Napa cabs make up in quality what they lack in quantity. The fruit bursts with dark flavors and the wine maintains the tradition of balance we strive for in all of our wines. Only 180 cases made ~ act now!

2009 Resolution. Zinfandel ~ Sonoma County ~ Wow! Are we having fun yet? Our second wine under the Resolution. label is another great wine at an even greater price. Taking the best Dry Creek and Rockpile appellations have to offer in Zinfandel, and touched gently with Petite Sirah from Napa and the Rockpile, this $17 Zinfandel has a lot going for it...and it will be going, fast!
2008 Rockpile Zinfandel ~ The Rockpile elder statesgrape continues to prove its tasteful lineage. This 2008 full bodied representative of this amazing appellation was high above the smokey fray proven by its clean aromas and fresh fruit. We have reduced all of our production levels so that we are able to focus on the very best lots in our vineyards. This wine will sell out quickly.
2007 Jazz ~ This wine has been cooling its heels, honing its chops, and is ready for its stage debut! As in all great jazz, this vintage resonates with a different composition of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon than our previous vintages. No Blues here! Just ripping Jazz! MAGNUMS also Available!
2009 Resolution. Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ~ We are pleased to offer this Napa Valley Cab, at a tremendous value as one way for us to give thanks to our loyal customers for sticking with us through these uncertain times. Do not wait too long as this wine is very popular. An amazing Napa Cab at $21.00!
2008 Senal ~ This blend features the varietals that thrive in the Rockpile Appellation. Zinfandel-of course; Petite Sirah-always; Cabernet Sauvignon-not a wallflower; and surprise, Syrah-who knew?
2009 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir ~ We are proud to announce the release of our 2009 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. This very small production wine features the best of this Pinot loving appelation.
2009 Russian River Valley Chardonnay ~ Another Great Year! Given the popularity of this wine, we did not deviate from the original production methods of making this wine entirely in stainless steel, left sur lie for four months, and no malolactic fermentation. This method guarantees to reveal the true nature of Chardonnay fruit--kiwi, green apples, pineapple and grapefruit flavors abound--the perfect every-day glass of wine.
2007 Rockpile Petite Sirah ~ The Rockpile delivers, yet again. In its second vintage, our Petite Sirah from this, year-in and year-out, appellation of renown, is a dark fruit purpled beauty whose balance of acid and tannins keeps this giant very gentle. Another very small lot of 140 cases will not be around long--get going!
2007 Napa Valley Petite Sirah ~ Just released! This wonderfull blend of Chiles Valley and BEW's Obsidian fruit. The traditional bold structure, as well as the deep dark fruits and intricate balance, with a startling smoothness is maintained in this small production gem. How about a half case of '06 and a half of '07?
2006 Jazz ~ **Limited Availability** The 2006 performance maintains the virtuoso crendtials established by our previous vintages. We just returned from New York, and our visit was capped by an evening at the club where American Jazz began--The Blue Note. Our "Jazz" is a featured best-seller at this prestigious establishment. MAGNUMS also Available!
2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ~ **Limited Availability** Few 750ml & Magnums Available. Going Fast now that the 2007 has sold out!
