  • Petition to Establish Big Valley – Lake County
    2011 Petition to Establish Big Valley District– Lake County Prepared by Terry Dereniuk November 7, 2011 Big Valley – Lake County AVA Petition Petition to Establish Big Valley District– Lake County Viticultural Area The proposed Big Valley District– Lake County viticulture area is located within the Clear Lake viticutural area in Lake County California. It lies on the southern shore of Clear Lake and covers an area of approximately 11,000 acres with approximately 1,800 acres planted to winegrapes. It is bounded by Clear Lake on the north, Lakeport on the northwest, Kelseyville and Mount Konocti on the east, and the proposed Kelsey Bench – Lake County and Mayacamas Mountains to the south and west. Differences in geology, soils, and climate distinguish the proposed viticultural area from surrounding region. The proposed Big Valley District– Lake County is recognized as a significant agricultural area in Lake County with a long history of agriculture and viticulture. The area known as Big Valley is 8 miles long and 6 miles wide at its widest point covering approximately 38 square miles. The topography of the Big Valley is generally level land sitting at 1,360 feet above sea level. The Big Valley slopes gently north and drains into the numerous creeks that flow into Clear Lake. It lies almost entirely within the Kelseyville Area Plan with a small section overlapping into the Lakeport Area Plan. The Agriculture section of the Kelseyville Area Plan states “Big Valley, within the Kelseyville Planning Area, contains over 48% of the county’s agricultural land. The most predominate crops are pears, walnuts, and wine grapes.” See Appendix Exhibit 1 which is a map of prime agricultural soils taken from the Kelseyville Area Plan.

  • September Newsletter 2020
    September 2020 Vol. IV, No. 3 An Exclusive Newsletter for The Vintners Club Members Lodi Vintners Notes What’s Inside From the Winemaker You Should Have Been There! Member Spotlight Featured Wines Recipe from Our Staff The Rippey Reserve Room The Vintners Club Exclusives Upcoming Events Current Wines From the Winemaker Covid-19 has changed our lives, including the wine industry. For those of you who have experienced symptoms or know someone who has, the virus is all too real. Our Tasting Room is open for tastings on the deck or around the fountain. Our team has worked hard to ensure your safety and enjoyment. August provided us with record setting hot days! This year, like last year, has been a less challenging growing season. Once again, we have a traditional start to the harvest with our first grapes arriving mid- August. This year’s harvest is yielding smaller, more flavorful grapes with juice that is deep in color and a promise of great wines. Not all grape varietals are picked at the same time. Grapes for sparkling wines are the first to be picked, usually in early August, marking the start of "crush." Next, most of the white grapes make their way from the vineyard to the crush pad. Harvest continues through late October – sometimes early November – for red varietals, as they take a bit longer to reach full maturation. Harvesting of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes begins later than most other varietals and typically lasts the longest. This year the Zinfandel vines at Lodi Vintners are heavy with fruit that is naturally flavorful.

  • 2013 HUNN Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley FINAL
    2013 CABERNET SAUVIGNON NAPA VALLEY Release Date September, 2015 Production 568 Cases Appellation Napa Valley: Calistoga AVA, Rutherford AVA, Oakville AVA, Coombsville AVA & Howell Mountain AVA Varietal Composition 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot Winemaking Team Seana and Justin Hunnicutt Stephens, Proprietor Kirk P. Venge, Winemaker Cooperage Aged for 22 months in 100% French oak, 50% new Tasting Notes Our 2013 Napa Cab is a real beauty. Perfumed, almost feminine notes of strawberry and raspberry tart dance on the edge of the glass with darker cassis, black cherry and vanilla adding layers to the nose and hinting at the beast within. On the entry, volumes of supple bright cherry, plum and blueberry pie rush to the fore and linger well into the mid-palate. As the tannins begin to wash over and meld with the bright fruit notes, soft secondary flavors of milk chocolate and pie crust coat the palate and provide harmonious balance through the finish. This wine shows great promise and speaks well for 2013 as a year with great aging potential. While 2012 was a bombastic show stopper, 2013 will prove to be the nuanced genius plucking the right strings for years to come. Patience is a virtue, but then again, who needs virtue when great wine is waiting. Drink when you are ready, decant with vigor over the next 5 years and confidently enjoy to 2030.

  • Cypress Lane Estate: Human Or Mechanical Harvesting?1
    Vol. 3, No. 1 CYPRESS LANE ESTATE: HUMAN OR MECHANICAL HARVESTING?1 Emilio Tedeschi, Sonoma State University, United States We had been primed to be the next world-class wine growing American Viticultural Area (AVA). We had seen Walla Walla, Willamette Valley, and Paso Robles all come into their fame over the last decade. Lake County’s history of winemaking predated Prohibition. The soil was volcanic. The entire AVA was elevated above 1000 ft, giving us higher quality wine grapes than you would expect. Cypress Lane [Estate] was here to make our smaller Clear Lake AVA number one, and we were going to take the Lake County AVA to the top. The highest production grape varieties coming out of Lake County were Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Over the last several years, significant plantings had been established throughout the county. Investors and growers were seizing an opportunity made available by skyrocketing grape prices from neighboring Napa, Sonoma, and other AVA’s across California. Labor for these vineyards was already an issue five years ago, and it remained an even more urgent issue today. The future of grape growing here was going to require serious innovation to maintain a competitive edge. —Anthony Decker, director of farming, Cypress Lane Estate, 2018.1 he morning was surprisingly warm for late December as Cypress Lane Estate’s Director of Farming, Anthony Decker, began his vineyard rounds. His responsibilities covered T 256 acres of vineyard nestled in various blocks across sprawling hillsides and valley floor. He checked in with his vineyard staff at their stations along the way, asking how they were and whether they were supplied for the day’s jobs.
