2009 Etoile Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay, Burgundy

The addition of Declassified Meursault Limozin makes this a serious Bourgogne Blanc. We gave it the distinction of ‘Etoile’. It possesses a complex flavor profile, deep intensity and superior length. It is a special blend for ELV Cote d'Or with a rich mid-palate and long nutty finish found in benchmark Meursault village wines, coupled with the vibrancy of St. Romaine for more freshness in the final blend.

Apple Blossom, Honey, Almond

2009 Vosne Romanée Pinot Noir, Burgundy

This massive wine from Vosne Romanée needs patience. It can age for years with its solid, tannic structure and intense black fruit flavors that reveal themselves on the palate as the wine opens up. Dark fruit, Asian spices, and fine tannins characteristic of Vosne Romanée make this a muscular wine. It has hints of black cherries and black currants and an elusive aroma that suggests violets.

2009 Tempest Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills

93+ pts. Wine Advocate

The Tempest Vineyard was planted in 2007 on the western edge of California’s Sta. Rita Hills. Open to the Pacific and planted with 4000 vines per acre the wines from the Tempest Vineyard present a deep purple color and an explosive nose which contrasts with the bright light griottine cherry flavors in the mouth and a long and persistent finish. The wines from the Tempest are indeed a study in opposites and the rare harmony that can be achieved when opposites exist to balance one another.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate on the Tempest 2009:
‘The 2009 Pinot Noir Tempest is simply dazzling for its aromatic complexity and textural richness. Intricately woven layers of dark fruit emerge from this classy, elegant wine. Everything is about effortless grace in this exquisite, beautifully balanced Pinot.’

2009 Occidental Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

94 pts. Wine Advocate

The 2009 Pinot Noir Occidental is gorgeous. Sweet, silky tannins frame an expressive core of fruit in this refined, subtle wine. The finish is refined and haunting. Shatter was a big issue here in 2009 and lowered yields significantly, but the positive side of that is that the wine has more than enough stuffing to handle its 100% new French oak with grace. This is a striking wine from Evening Land. 94 pts. -- Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #196 August 2011

2009 Seven Springs Summum Chardonnay, Eola-Amity Hills

95 pts. Wine Spectator
95 pts. Wine Advocate

Pale straw in color with silvery tones, the aroma leaps out and competes for attention with notes of white peaches, herbal hints of fennel and lemon balm with an impressive crushed stone character. The attack on the palate is bright and light, yet coating with a creamy core that keeps on tightening. The finish is unusually long with lemon and citrus balancing and supporting the frame to the stony character. This is a wine of great texture that will blossom with age and that will continue to make your mouth water.

White Peaches, Fennel, Lemon
