Winemaking began in California in the late 1860s and thrived until two major events occurred. Firstly, there was phylloxera, then from 1919 to 1933 there was Prohibition. Prohibition practically wiped out all but a few wineries. The survivors were making wine for the Church. Following this period, there were two main pioneers of winemaking in Cal- ifornia. First there was Ernest and Julio Gallo, who started Dreamin’ their business in 1933, directly after Prohibition. There was plenty of competition, but they concentrated their efforts on commercial winemaking from pre-prohibition pamphlets found in the basement of the Modesto public library. This became the essence of their initial success. E & J Gallo is now the largest wine company in the USA. A decade after the Gallo brothers began, Robert Mon- davi joined the family business in 1943.

  • Mas La Plana 2016
    SPAIN | DO PENEDÈS MIGUEL TORRES MACZASSEK Managing Director MAS LA PLANA 2016 ABOUT THE FAMILY Familia Torres founded its first winery in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870, 150 years ago, but its roots in the winegrowing traditions of Spain date back to the 16th century. Five generations have carried the family business forward, passing on their passion for wine culture from parents to children – a passion steeped in respect for land and tradition, and a firm belief in innovation. Today the family focuses on wines from unique vineyards and historical estates, as well as the recovery of ancestral varieties. Familia Torres has a historical connection to Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat, and Costers del Segre, but now its presence extends to vineyards and wineries in preeminent Spanish wine regions – Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rueda, and Rías Baixas. ABOUT THE WINE A 1979 blind tasting in Paris, the Gault-Millau Wine Olympics, placed French Cabernets such as Châteaux Latour against newcomers including Torres. The wine from Mas la Plana vineyard triumphed over some of the world’s most iconic, placing first, which put Penedès on the map as benchmark quality for the best red wines in the world. KEY SELLING POINTS • 100% Cabernet Sauvignon • The first vintage, 1970, won 1st place in the 1979 Wine Olympics in Paris • 50+ year old vineyard, home to the Torres Family • Familia Torres came in 3rd place on Drinks International’s 2020 list of Most Admired Wine Brands, while leading the European ranking for the 10th year in a row TECHNICAL DETAILS Appellation: DO Penedès | Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon “From a dry vintage, with Aging: 18 months in new French oak barrels from Tronçais and Nevers from a selection of the best coopers Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted on deep alluvial soils, winemaker Alcohol: 14.5% | Total Acidity: 5.8 g/L Miguel Torres describes this as: ‘A very classic vintage of Mas La Plana.’ Black fruit aromas – blackberry, blackcurrant – some blackcurrant leaf, coffee and dark chocolate hints.

  • Washington Wine Blog Reviews
    2017 Eight Bells Chardonnay- Sourced from the Boushey Vineyard, they have utilized four clones of Chardonnay for this wine. The wine was largely aged in stainless steel prior to bottling. The nose shows toasty brioche and pear elements with a touch of starfruit. There is a great freshness to the wine as it shows off Japanese pear, vanilla cream and lighter peach flavors. This shows wonderful poise. Drink 2018-2024- 91 2015 Eight Bells Pinot Noir- Sourced from the Methven Vineyard, just south of Dayton in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. The wine is crafted from three clones of Pinot Noir. The wine saw no new oak prior to bottling. This has a pretty red cherry and rose petal nose with a touch of baking spices. There is a light orange rind element on the palate that combines with bright guava puree and strawberry flavors. This is lithe and forward pretty Pinot Noir that has a good freshness. Drink 2018-2024- 90 2015 Eight Bells Sangoivese- This Sangiovese was sourced from the Red Willow Vineyard first planted in 1992. This translucent wine starts off with aromatics of smoke, red cherry and bright strawberry. This has really good minerality, as the wine has a nice salinity and mouthfeel. Red cherry, cranberry and orange zest flavors impress. Drink 2018-2024- 90 2015 Eight Bells Merlot- From a block planted in 1990, this deep colored wine starts off with black raspberry, coffee grounds and black cherry aromatics. The wine has a wonderful mouthfeel and purity of fruit. Red and dark cherry flavors beautifully combine, as this has a Bordelaise feel.
