Producers Notes:

If you have ever tasted Brunello di Montalcino wine, you intrinsically know what this wine is all about. Our 2015 Sangiovese is dark and fruity with that classic mix of earth, chocolate and dried herbs we love about our favorite modern-style Brunellos.  It has consistently impressed when we’ve tasted with top-flight Brunello wines. While intensely fruity, this wine has solid tannin structure allowing it to age well over 6 to 10 years past the vintage.

Producers Notes:

2015 is my favorite Segromino to date because it is the closest we have come to making a wine reminiscent of top flight Chianti Classico. It strikes a nice balance of floral and fruity aromas with juicy fruit and spice on the palate. Like most great Chiantis, Segromino is definitely a "go to" wine with a variety of foods. It should age nicely for 3-4 years.

Producers Notes:

"Barbera epitomizes our winemaking quest here at Unti: To produce wines from noble Mediterranean grapes with expressive aromas, flavors, and solid natural acidity for balance. Barbera is by far the most heavily planted grape in Italy's Piemonte region because it performs well in a variety of sites. We first planted a small block of Barbera in 1998, and now have 6 acres under vine. We've learned that when farmed at moderate to low yields, Barbera can render compelling wines here in Dry Creek Valley. Our 2016 Barbera is quite dark with exotic fruit and snappy acidity. The wine was aged ion French oak barrels, 25% new for 12 months.

Producers Notes:

"Upon returning from a trip to Italy's Le Marche region, my dad planted Montepulciano in 2005. We now have over 2 acres of Montepulciano and wish we planted more. In fact, there are less than 100 acres of it planted here in California, which is crazy. 2015 was the third consecutive drought vintage here in Dry Creek, which plays right into making great Montepulciano. We routinely thin our crop by 40 to 60% in order to make a more structured and complex wine. This dark and full bodied wine was aged in 25% new French oak barrels for 13 months. If you haven't guess by now, we love Montepulciano.

Winemaker notes:

"If you like intense fruit, tannin, and acidity in a Zinfandel, 2015 was your kind of vintage. Our Zin is dark, full-bodied and it possesses the freshness and bright acidity that we feel is classic Dry Creek Zinfandel. This 2015 has a bit more tannin than normal and as such it should age nicely for 4 to 6 years. I love this wine as it is old school Dry Creek Valley, in the right way." – MU

Producer Notes:

We ferment our Syrah in small open top tanks. After a 5-day cold soak, fermentation begins with indigenous yeast. We then punch-down or pump juice over the cap twice daily. Once dry, the pomace is basket- pressed, blended with free-run wine, and transferred into barrels. A small portion of this wine was whole cluster fermented in order to enhance aromas.  The wine was aged in only French Oak, 35% new, for 13 months.

This 2015 Syrah really illustrates the best attributes of this excellent vintage. It is dark, with intense blue and blackberry fruit, licorice, and spice, reminiscent of Syrah from of our favorite Crozes-Hermitage and St.-Joseph wines from the Northern Rhône. Like those wines, I recommend drinking this 2015 Syrah now through the next 5 or 6 years.

Producers Notes:

Vermentino is a classic Mediterranean white grape. In Italy, you'll find Vermentino in Liguria, Sardinia, and Tuscany, in France it is grown in Corsica and Provence. Our 2017 Vermentino was harvested early enough to retain bright acidity while in a fragrant, fruity, and expressive wine. We ferment our white wines in concrete and small stainless steel tanks to retain vineyard character.

Producers Notes:

"We make Rosé by lightly crushing Grenache and Mourvedre grapes directly to press. In order to make a Provencal-style rosé that is not dark-hued or tannic, we limit skin contact to a few hours. The wine is fermented completely dry, and aged in stainless steel or concrete tanks until bottling. If possible, we prevent the wine from going through malo-lactic fermentation in order to retain bright acidity. In 2017, our Rosé has 35% Mourvedre, which adds to the depth of the wine.

Grenache and Mouvedre have the unique ability to provide body, texture, and complexity while maintaining the style of a crisp, dry rosé, which is why we love Bandol, in southern France."

Producers Notes:

This Southern Rhône-style wine is 80% Grenache, 14% Syrah and 6% Mourvedre. The primary component of this blend comes from a 2.9 acre block, planted in 1998 to three selections of Grenache Noir, using budwood originally obtained from Tablas Creek and Alban Vineyards. These selections, originally from Châteauneuf-du-Pape give darker color and better structure than the majority of Grenache planted in California. Our Grenache and Mourvedre are planted at our creekside vineyard block. The Syrah in this blend comes from Northern Rhône clones 174 and 877 located beside the winery. Our vines are planted on low-vigor rootstock to 4’x 6’ spacing.

Cuvée Foudre is code for us having a kick-ass vintage for Grenache and Mourvedre, having only bottled under this label in 2005 and 2012. The ripe vintage for Mourvedre, combined with a full-bodied vintage of Grenache packs this wine with intense aromas of pepper, raspberry, cherry, blackberry, tar, licorice, and dried herbs (enough with the descriptors!).  This is the closest we’ve come to the “Holy Grail” of making a Châteauneuf-du-Pape style wine. It has the endurance to last at least 5 to 7 years, but should really start showing its stuff in 2 years.
