DECANTING Some of our older red selections have natural sediment. Please be patient and we will decant the wine for your full enjoyment. Some (particularly unfiltered) wines have natural tartaric acid crystals. They are heavier than the wine and will collect at the bottom of the bottle in white wines or crystalize at the bottom of the cork in reds. They are tasteless and are not indicative of any flaw. Decanting is not necessary, just leave them at the bottom of the bottle. Some younger red wines that are ‘big, muscular, tough, tannic’ styles may benefit from decanting as it promotes aeration and softens the wine. Your server may recommend decanting or feel free to ask that we decant. BON APPETIT ! ENJOY !

  • 2013/2014 VINTAGES Dear Friend
    2013/2014 VINTAGES Dear Friend, Fifteen years ago, my father purchased a small organic farm on the extreme Sonoma Coast and embarked on his journey to grow world class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Upon Helen Turley’s declaration that this area was destined to be “the La Tâche of California”, he and David Abreu planted thirty acres with a diverse and thoughtful selection of clones and rootstocks. Set at high-density intervals, the vines burrow deeply and produce concentrated berries. Today, we are reaping the benefits of their vision and hard work, with mature vines that produce a vibrant spectrum of single vineyard fruit. The full expression of the site can be best enjoyed in our estate vineyard blends, the 2014 Wayfarer Vineyard Chardonnay and the 2014 Wayfarer Vineyard Pinot Noir. This vintage is open and generous right out of the bottle, possessing soft tannins, great acidity and a distinctive minerality. Each year we set aside small amounts of Pinot Noir from those clones which display exceptional character and balance, and bottle them as four stand-alone cuvees: “Mother Rock” shows a deep, earthy flintiness and velvety texture; “Golden Mean” is aromatic and bold with a bright acidity; “Paige’s Ridge” is rich and ripe, most true to a California-style; and “The Traveler” is ethereal and provocative, the most Burgundian in style. For the next five years, we recommend that you decant these wines for at least an hour before serving. Our sincere thanks for your eager support of Wayfarer. It’s been the realization of a decades-long dream and we are proud to share it with you.

  • Peter Michael's Quest How an Englishman Carved a Great Winery out of a California Mountain
    Home > Magazine Archives > Nov. 15, 2014 Issue > Features Peter Michael's Quest How an Englishman carved a great winery out of a California mountain Tim Fish Issue: November 15, 2014 Knights Valley is not the sort of place an English gentleman simply stumbles upon. A secluded patch of Sonoma County, it is tucked among mountains and accessible by a tangle of country roads. There are no towns and only a few homes. It's a beautiful parcel of California, unruffled by time or development, a place more likely to be lost than found. But an Englishman on a quest somehow found his way there. Peter Michael traveled 6,000 miles, from London to Sonoma, on a mission that took him from extraordinary success in the high-tech world to a risky startup in the wine business. Now, after more than 30 years of hard work and investment, Michael, 76, can look back on a dream that is well and truly fulfilled. Peter Michael Winery has reached the pinnacle of California wine. With remarkable consistency, it excels with many different grapes and vineyards. View the entire table of contents Since 1997, eight of its wines have earned spots on Wine Spectator's Top 100 for the Nov. 15, 2014 issue lists, and three of those made the Top 10. See Also The winery's flagship is the Cabernet blend Les Pavots, from the home estate in Knights Valley. This powerful, balanced red routinely earns classic ratings The Vineyards of Peter Michael (95 points or higher on the Wine Spectator 100-point scale); as it ages, it Winery takes on texture and aromatics reminiscent of a fine Bordeaux.

The following year he and his family planted the first vines in what would eventually become the renowned Les Pavots vineyard. An intensely personal endeavor, the Winery today is characterized by the multigenerational presence of the Michael family and their shared commitment to what they call 100 x 100: one-hundred percent family tenure for one-hundred years. The family sees this commitment as informing not only the day-to-day practices in the winery, but the caliber of wine that is the result. 01 05 Two generations of the Michael Family: Sir Peter and Lady Michael along with their son, Paul, and his wife, Emily.

Enjoying an extended holiday in France with his family, Turley was surrounded by the best wines money could buy—Bordeaux, Burgundy and more —but he couldn't find a drop of his beloved Zinfandel. "I'm gonna be here for a year," he told his winemaker, "and I need something to drink." With Zinfandel, it seems, it's all or nothing. Considered the quintessential California wine, Zinfandel is equal parts loved and scorned by wine drinkers, even in the United States. It is indeed a wine with multiple personalities, its character veering wildly over the decades from blush wine to a superripe, Port-style red.

  • A Legend Is Born Anointed 94 Points by Robert Parker, the First Release, the 1986 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red, Launched Pahlmeyer
    A Legend is Born Anointed 94 points by Robert Parker, the first release, the 1986 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red, launched Pahlmeyer’s astonishing track record of critical acclaim. In 1989, Jayson invited rising star winemaker Bob Levy to produce the first vintages of Pahlmeyer Chardonnay. The 1991 Chardonnay sold out immediately, giving Jayson good reason to decline a screenwriter’s request for samples to use in a Hollywood movie. In the end though, he acquiesced and to his great surprise, the wine’s big role in the battle-of-the sexes blockbuster Disclosure helped further the frenzy surrounding Pahlmeyer. In 1993, Helen Turley took the winemaking reins, beginning her own rise to prominence. She and her team – including protégé Erin Green – furthered the work of Dunn and Levy, improving the quality and consistency of Pahlmeyer wines through winegrowing, grapesourcing and winemaking innovation. To push quality to even greater heights, Helen urged Jayson to develop estate vineyards. She was instrumental in finding Waters Ranch – Pahlmeyer’s high-elevation Napa Valley estate vineyard planted to red Bordeaux varieties and Chardonnay, and Wayfarer – the winery’s isolated estate vineyard in the newly established Fort Ross-Seaview AVA, a stone’s throw from famed Marcassin Vineyard on California’s extreme Sonoma Coast, appropriately planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Waters Ranch and Wayfarer estate vineyards were planted by viticulture legend David Abreu in 1998 and 2002, respectively. …And Reborn In 2012, Jayson named Kale Anderson director of winemaking for Pahlmeyer's Napa Valley vineyards and production, and Bibiana González Rave consulting winemaker for the winery's Sonoma Coast vineyard and operations.

  • Cliff Lede Vineyards and Poetry, Located in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, and FEL Wines, Whose Roots Are in the Anderson Valley
    Lede Family Wines Lede Family Wines encompasses three distinct wine brands: Cliff Lede Vineyards and Poetry, located in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, and FEL Wines, whose roots are in the Anderson Valley. A strategic thinker and visionary, Cliff Lede (pronounced lay-dee) is the driving force of a company that at once holds the values of the great Old World winemaking properties, with the energy, youth and spark of the New World. His wines are intrinsically connected to the land, yet his view point is forward-thinking and entirely fresh. Since founding his namesake winery in 2002, Lede has successfully combined estate vineyards, winemaking, art, architecture and music into one of Napa Valley’s most modern and diversified estates. One of Lede’s greatest attributes is his ability to recognize talent. He believes in hiring experts to do what they do best, and putting them in positions in which they will succeed. As such, he provided the vision and resources for vineyard architect David Abreu to plant his estate vineyards with incredible precision. He sought out the expertise of architect Howard Backen to build a state-of-the art, gravity-flow winery on the estate. His executive team, headed by Vice President and General Manager Remi Cohen, along with winemakers Christopher Tynan for Cliff Lede Vineyards, and Ryan Hodgins for FEL Wines, are given not only the tools, but the open mind of a humble and trusting leader, to produce the best wines possible. Cliff Lede Vineyards and Poetry Cliff Lede Vineyards was founded in 2002 when Cliff Lede purchased 60 acres in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley.

  • Wine from Vineyard Managers
    Winemakers sharing space on bottle labels - James M. Meyer, Special to The Chronicle Wine lovers have long monitored the career paths of star winemakers like Helen Turley, Heidi Peterson Barrett and Tony Soter, buying up any wine these oenological Midases have touched. But notice is rarely given to the vineyard managers who produce the grapes that the winemakers use. If it's true that you can't make great wine without great fruit, then should not attention be paid to those responsible for growing the best grapes? Consumer recognition of vineyard managers is in its early stages, but high- end wine drinkers are taking notice. "Among people who are really serious about wine, vineyard managers are starting to get a real cachet in the marketplace," says Chuck Hayward, wine buyer for The Jug Shop wine store in San Francisco. Vineyard management has turned into big business. Someone has to plant trophy vineyards like Martha's and Fay's. Because few absentee owners have the desire or capabilities to handle the less-than-sexy farming aspects of owning a vineyard, they generally out source the agricultural details to a vineyard manager. For years, vineyard management companies like Abreu, Jack Neal & Sons, Barbour Vineyard Enterprises, Pina, Renteria and Madrigal have been working behind the scenes farming vineyards for some of Napa Valley's most prestigious labels, including Araujo, Heitz's Martha's Vineyard, Grace Family Vineyard, Showket, Etude and Duckhorn. In Sonoma County, Steve and Joe Dutton have been growing grapes and doing vineyard work for wineries like Kistler, Flowers and Merry Edwards.
