California 815
Cabernet Sauvignon
What: The 2007 California 815 Cabernet Sauvignon blends grapes from our favorite appellations resulting in an elegant, luscious wine. Where: Fruit is sourced from Napa Valley, the Mendocino coast, Paso Robles and Lake County. Together, these appellations create a balanced, structured wine with supple tannins, bright acidity and flavors of spicy red fruit and rich black fruit that are intensified by aromas of currants, cedar and black tea. Why: Our 815 Cabernet is named for the August 15th birth of our daughter Lucy during the 2003 harvest. Alcohol: 14.3% Release date: March 2009
2005 Chardonnay, Blend No. 406, Napa Valley The 2005 vintage is proving to be a stunning vintage for Chardonnay due to the unseasonably cold nights and warm days during the ripening period. This chardonnay is a blend of two Napa Valley vineyards from the southern, cooler part of the Valley. Our winemaking style strives to retain the purity of fruit by preventing malo-lactic fermentation and aging in stainless steel rather than oak. The Hyde Chardonnay exhibits vibrant aromas of pear and stone fruits with hints of white flowers and spice. The pallet begins with a finesse of rich fruit and minerality that remains in the mouth to show concentration and depth in the mid pallet. A balanced but firm acidity in the finish makes this wine a great match with a variety of foods. Fruit: 100 % Chardonnay Appellation: Napa Valley Harvest Dates: September 30 & October 13 Harvest Brix: 24.5 Brix Cooperage: Stainless steel tanks and 60 gallon drums Aging Time: 6 months Alcohol: 14.3% Release Date: June 1, 2006 Suggested Retail: $18
N A P A V A L L E Y What: Our 2006 GOTT Napa Cabernet Sauvignon has silky tannins and a firm structure with aromas of black currant, tobacco leaf and sweet oak. Where: Making GOTT gives us a chance to study diverse Napa Valley appellations, each with its own micro-climate and soil type. For this vintage, fruit from St. Helena added softness and red fruit flavors, while fruit from Oakville provided structure and dark fruit flavors. Fruit sourced from Howell Mountain, where the rocky soils offer limited yields, added tannins and minerality. Why: We are committed to working with growers who share our passion for making wines that are true to a grape's varietal characteristics. Our philosophy has remained the same from the beginning: make the best wines from our favorite vineyards. Alcohol: 14.6% Release date: TBA
