Thank you, Cori Solomon for the write up on our Flying Cloud Sauvignon Blanc!
"The 2015 Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of grass and peach with flavors of tropical fruit and stone fruit. This is a bright fresh wine that exudes a delicate balance and perfect minerality. There are hints of grass but not overpowering as often found in Sauvignon Blancs. The wine is clean, crisp and very refreshing."
We are honored to be mentioned here for our Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay!
A post-bottling recap!

2014 Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands
Not only is this a great bottling at a judicious price, but it also shows a great deal of nuance from the appellation that often brings mostly power. Blackberry, beef, smoked game and pencil shavings show on the nose. The palate brings bright hibiscus and tart elderberry as well as graphite, thyme and bay-leaf flavors.
We thought #NationalAlbariñoDay would be a good time to release our 2015 Albariño from Jespersen Ranch!
Come and get it!
We are quite proud of our current lineup of Pinot Noirs. These are great
food wines and are particularly restaurant friendly, especially if you are
in a part of the country where restaurateurs and sommeliers seek out
moderate levels of alcohol...all four wines at 13.5% alcohol. All of our Pinot Noirs are small production, sourced from sustainable vineyards, and made with minimal intervention in the cellar. They are extremely retail friendly with terrific scores.
Sales support materials are available on our website.
Call, text or email for pricing and to place your order.
Cheers,
Stephen R. Dooley
"We were greeted with a crisp, low alcohol 2014 Albarino that we were instructed to sample with the grilled shrimp. You might want all of this on your next picnic."
"We then did a vertical tasting of Stephen Ross' Stone Corral Vineyard Pinot Noir from 2011, 2013 and a 2015 barrel sample. Each had a character all its own with deep, dark fruit notes with good structure. The 2015 is going to be dynamite when it's released in early 2017."
