    Cabernet Sauvignon Thrives in J. Lohr's Paso Robles Vineyards On

    Cabernet sauvignon thrives in J. Lohr’s Paso Robles vineyards on the Estrella plateau on the east side of Highway 101. aso Robles may be America’s most dynamic wine region - and its most diverse. Splendid old-vine zinfandel, ageworthy and elegant cabernet Psauvignon, spicy yet supple pinot noir, and almost any white or red variety, from pinot grigio to petite syrah, are made here. World-class bottlings of viognier, roussanne, marsanne, syrah, grenache, and mourvèdre, either as beautifully inte- grated blends or as stand-alone varietals, proudly bear the Paso Robles name. Central to the region’s dynamism is an environment that is ideal for growing quality grapes and a core of talented producers, winemakers, and growers who have been attracted by the promise of Paso Robles. Discovering Paso Robles Although many wine lovers have discovered the charms of the area’s wines, it remains unknown to some and few would be able to place Paso Robles (“pass of the oaks” in Spanish) on a map of California. The town is located roughly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the Paso Robles American Viticultural Area (AVA), a heptagon- shaped area of more than 650,000 acres, covers much of northern San Luis Obispo County. Within this vast expanse are at least eight distinct subregions: the most important are the “Estrella Triangle” or plateau on the east side of Highway 101, the old- vine vineyards near Templeton established by Italian immigrants in the 1920s, and the Adelaida hills area near the western border of the AVA, west of the town of Paso Robles.

Cannery Row Here at A Taste of Monterey, we are excited to have Cima Collina represented as one of Monterey County’s top wineries. A quote Sun-Thu 11am-6pm from winemaker, Annette Hoff, truly reflects the character and approach of the winery. Fri-Sat 11am-8pm* “Local flavors are as diverse as the Monterey County landscape. From the rugged Big Sur coastline to the prairie lands of Arroyo Seco, every vineyard develops its own set of diverse flavors. It is our passion to discover these local flavors and produce unfined, Food service begins at unfiltered wines that reflect a sense of place. Our meticulous, artisan approach preserves and enhances these local flavors from 11:30am daily the finest Monterey County vineyards.” *No new member tastings Cima Collina’s tasting room is located in Carmel Valley Village in a build- after 6pm ing originally constructed in the 1880s as a creamery owned by a Carmel Valley pioneer, William Hatton (locals will recognize the name’s legacy in the name of a particular canyon). This creamery produced our very own Monterey Jack cheese. Yes, it really was first produced here in Monterey County. After its creamery days were through, the building served as Carmel Valley’s first post office. You can’t get much more grounded in Monterey County than housing your tasting room in a building tied so delicately to the area’s history.

    Drinking California Pinot Noir History from “Old Vine” Vineyards: a Bucket List

    If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 12, Issue 8 August 19, 2020 Drinking California Pinot Noir History from “Old Vine” Vineyards: A Bucket List “Vine age is the key to balance. There’s no substitute for vine age.” Ted Lemon, Littorai There is no consensus or legal definition of “old vine” Pinot Noir. Wikipedia states, “In a place where wine production is longstanding, it often means a wine whose vines are thirty to forty years old.” I have used forty years (1980) as the cut-off for my California old vine Pinot Noir bucket list. Some would consider these “mature” vines only, insisting that the term “old” be reserved for vines older than this such as 125-year-old Zinfandel vines in California that are still bearing small amounts of fruit. Hanzell 1953 Ambassador’s Vineyard Pinot Noir Vine The term “old-vine” has created debate for years in the wine industry. Most winemakers believe the terminology should be defined and regulated. Some choose to define “old-vine” as a minimum of 20 years and others prefer 50 years as a minimum. There are also disagreements about the percentage of grapes that should be required in a wine labeled “old-vine.” Some winemakers would agree that “old-vine” grapes should make up at least 85% of the grapes contained in a wine sold as “old-vine,” and others demand that 95% of the grapes be from “old-vine” sources. There are variances to consider among different varietals as well. For example, Pinot Noir vineyards over 20 years are considered old, yet Zinfandel from a 20 year-old vineyard would not be labeled “old-vine.” The issue of “old-vines” results from the perception by many consumers who consider “old-vine” wines better.

    Michaud Pinot 03

    WINE RECOMMENDATION Michaud Vineyard and Winery 2003 Pinot Noir, Estate (Chalone) Michael Michaud has spent pretty much his entire career working with Chalone appellation grapes, first at Chalone Vineyard and now at his eponymous label. He started planting his vineyard in 1981 and established the Michaud Vineyard brand in 1997. At first Michaud produced a little Chardonnay; Pinot Noir joined the lineup in the 2000 vintage, and he’s added Pinot Blanc (actually Melon de Bourgogne), Sangiovese and Syrah since then. Michaud’s vineyard is at about 1,500 feet, toward the cooler northern end of the appellation. I find that most Chalone AVA wines, even the Chardonnays, require several years in the bottle to show their best sides. Recognizing that, Michaud takes the step of holding back his wines longer than most producers of Chalone AVA wine, which explains why the 2003 Pinot is the current release. Nevertheless, the wine, which sells for $38, is still quite tight, with flavors of cherry and mineral surrounding a firm core of acid and tannin. There’s a long finish. Older Michaud Pinots have fleshed out a bit more and picked up nuances of lavender and cedar. Michaud recommends decanting the wine to help it open further. Reviewed March 28, 2007 by Laurie Daniel .
