2005
Jerry was there to meet us when we pulled into the parking lot. We went into the main warehouse where he gave us an overview of the facility, how they stage for harvest and get the wines into barrel. After, he asked us if we would like to do some barrel tasting. Since our time was short we concentrated on their red wines in barrel from the 2004 vintage.
The overall rating we gave to the wines we tasted was "Very Good - Excellent." A lot of fruit was showing magnificently, especially the Pinot Noir, Merlot and the Cabernet Franc. Others like the Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Zinfandel were showing their potential but still needed some barrel time to flesh out. Jerry was genuinely excited as we navigated around the barrels exposing us to the newer vineyards they were working with. As he wielded his wine thief you could tell this was a person of the vineyard, revealing to us the terroir of the vineyards in the wines we tried.
