Home , Lodi AVA, Wine bottle

W I N E S B Y T H E B O T T L E Because our inventory of the small-production we support is limited, we may run out occasionally. In addition, wines at Vino & Vinyl can be purchased to-go at a discounted rate of 25% ( club = 35%). (If you’re on a mobile device, turning it sideways will make the reading more enjoyable!)

A quick-ish note about this tiny list: it has been tempting for us to go down the “Alice in Wonderland” spiral of trying to have a wine from every country in the world, let alone from specifc regions. Instead, we started honing and focusing on what we really love and who we want to support. We want the majority of the money we purchase wine with, to go to here on our soil, with the focus on the West Coast (but Texas is trying to get serious, too). Don’t worry if we don’t have what you’re looking for, because I promise… there are some amazing wines below. I even took the time to fnd or write a little blurb for each wine (who does that?), so that you can make a more educated “blind” purchasing decision. These are the kinds of wines we love drinking at our house: great Cabernet, awesome Blends, life-changing , all-day-rose (bro-zay, as I like to call it), and (which needs no introduction). Thank you so much for joining us.

I hope you love it here. -PK (Paul Killingsworth, Owner/Somm/wanna-be-DJ)

P I N O T N O I R

EZY TGR, Willamette Valley, Oregon...... 42 This bottle showcases premium-level Pinot Noir at an affordable, everyday drinking price without sacrifcing or shortcutting in the cellar. These grapes were hand harvested, fermented spontaneously, and aged for 18 months in neutral French . The resulting wine is striking in its elegance and purity, red fruited, and the perfect accompaniment to a variety of foods.

Enkidu “E”, Sonoma County, California ...... 56 A multi-layered Pinot with great texture. Aromas and favors of raspberry, strawberry, black cherry and brioche in this compelling and exotic wine. At Enkidu their focus is on producing Pinot Noir from both the Russian River Valley and the Sonoma Coast. This wine is a blend of those two areas, and is simply delicious, complex, and yet almost too easy to drink.

Domaine Anderson, Anderson Valley, California ...... 85 A chameleon in the glass, this wine oscillates among aromas of black cherries, turned earth and cloves with hints of wood smoke. The black cherry is echoed on the pallet. The frm tannic core is enveloped in a satiny robe of black and red cherries and red plum skin favours. Earthy bark spice and exotic oak favours intermingle with fresh fruits.

Ramey, Russian River Valley, California ...... 88 As traditionally practiced in Burgundy, the winery used an anaerobic approach to preserving the freshness and fruit characteristics of our Pinot Noir. It was aged sur lies with monthly bâtonnage and spent fourteen months in 49% new French barrels (François Frères & Demptos). This wine was lightly fned with egg white and bottled without fltration. This Russian River Valley Pinot Noir strikes a fne balance between rich, unctuous styles and leaner, coastal styles. It is at once both elegant and delicious. Tom Eddy “Manchester Ridge”, Mendocino, California ...... 107 We will remember the year 2015 as being one of the smallest and most 'concentrated' vintage in California in the last 20 years. Cool weather in May caused poor fowering, resulting in half as many berries but with tremendous concentration of favors. In addition, with the drought ever-present, the small crop ripened early and the was swift. Defnitely a Pinot to savor.

Merry Edwards, Sonoma, California ...... 115 On the nose, it offers aromas of bright Bing cherry with hints of licorice, subtle forest foor and open inviting notes of rose petal, vanilla and baking spices. Rich and lively upon entry, the mouth begins with fruit forward notes of crunchy raspberries and red cherries.

Croix “Bacigalupi Vineyard”, Russian River Valley, California . 124 A fuller, broader and savory style of Pinot Noir, the nose opens with aromatic concentrations of sweet tobacco, rose water, black cherries and allspice. The palate is exotic, expansive, yet focused with tongue curling acidity and a savory glide that fnishes with substantial length on the palate. The body is surprisingly full without overwhelming the tasting experience. This is pure enjoyment. Bravo!

Thompson, Russian River Valley, California ...... 125 From the winery: This wine - she is spirited and memorable - is an impressively generous and balanced wine, showing strength and complexity. Delicate red fruits from Laguna along with tannins from Lancel Creek mix with the power and intensity of our fruit from our estate vineyard at Thompson 31Fifty Westside Road This wine has a wonderful mid-palate and an especially lasting fnish. Her character will last for decades. Clones used in this wine are Pommard, Calera, 777 and Pisoni. Fruit was night-harvested by hand and de-stemmed with 10 percent whole clusters added.

Only 592 cases handcrafted. From Vino & Vinyl: The wine is incredible.

LaRue “Rice-Spivak Vineyard”, Sonoma Coast, California . . . 138 From Katy Wilson, winemaker: “Planted in 1999 and owned by Russell Rice and Helene Spivak, we have been working with this vineyard since LaRue was founded in 2009. Katy frst met Russell and Helene in 2007 during her time as the Assistant Winemaker at Flowers Vineyard & Winery, where they bonded over a mutual respect for the vineyard and the pursuit of showcasing its truest expression. From her very frst harvest experience working with Rice-Spivak, Katy knew that this small, cool north-facing site was something special. Fast-forward more than a decade later and our LaRue Rice-Spivak Pinot Noir shines as one of our most anticipated releases every year. The six acres of Rice-Spivak Vineyard lie south of the town of Sebastopol. Its Goldridge sandy loam soils mixed with volcanic ash are quite unusual. This distinctive soil profle along with the clonal selections of Dijon and Swan create a wine that is balanced with vibrant acidity, fresh aromas, and unmistakable minerality.” O T H E R R E D S

Fabre Malbec “Reserva”, Mendoza, Argentina ...... 39 Mendoza is the rockstar of Argentinian Malbec. Deep red colour with violet tones. Very intense bouquet with red cherry fruit and spices. Complex and well-balanced with vanilla and chocolate notes from the oak. A modern style wine, with sweet silky tannins. Great with all kind of grilled meats, games and cheeses. Look for hidden notes of chocolate, blueberry, and black pepper.

Pedernales “Cuvée 1853”, Texas High Plains ...... 56 From the winery: “We created this blend for those that appreciate the art of the perfect food and wine pairing. We followed the example of the Italian’s in the way only a Texan would – by blending beautiful typical varietals found in , in a non-traditional way. You’ll fnd this wine to be rich with aromas of red fruit. Strawberry and raspberry notes are prominent but complemented by savory dried sage and leather. The palate is full of bright fruit, good acidity, and a medium body with soft tannins.”

Adega Northwest Malbec, Horse Heaven Hills, WA ...... 58 Please don’t pass this one by! Even though Malbec is king in Argentina, the team at Adega is producing a showstopper! Aromas blackberry jam, bing cherry pie, cocoa powder, and sage intermingle. Rich and full bodied with deep favors of fg, stewed plum, black pepper, black tea and dark chocolate back by mouth watering acidity, youthful tannins and a smooth and lengthy fnish.

Macauley “Old Vine” Zinfandel, Napa Valley ...... 62 This is the type of wine that could be easily compared to The Prisoner, but this wine has more elegance and more cabernet qualities (if you will). With an initial bouquet of raspberry and a recurring note of maple, this is a full-bodied wine with freshness and acidity. It has an inviting layer of spice and hints of freshly baked cherry pie. A high-wire balancing act of weight and freshness. 92% Zinfandel, 8% Petite Sirah.

Limerick Lane Zinfandel, Russian River ...... 73 This Zinfandel vineyard was originally planted by Italians at the start of the 1900’s! The wine is seamless and with an unparalleled clarity of favor and aromas like blackberry, raspberry, bramble, cocoa leaf, and wet stones. Flavors of strawberry, black pepper, blueberry pie crust, and wet stones. The mouthfeel is opulent, structured, and has chewy tannins, and a long fnish.

Peake Ranch “Bellis Noir”, Santa Barbara ...... 82 Bellis Noir is a blend that combines the brightness of Grenache and brooding aspect of Syrah, resulting in a wine showing intricate fruit notes of acai and blue fruits. The cool climate contributes to an herbal tone, with fennel, dill and peppermint surfacing on the palate. An ample, round and solid tannic core provides for a long, satisfying fnish.

Outpost Zinfandel, Howell Mountain, Napa Valley ...... 90 Outpost stands high atop Howell Mountain, perched 2200 feet above the foor of the Napa Valley. It was established in 1998 with the vision of making wines that refect the place in which the fruit was grown. The vineyards are high altitude, with hard rocky red volcanic soil and sunny southwestern exposures. Look for favors of cherry pie, raspberry preserves, and blueberry compote! W H I T E S

Pavette , Walla Walla, Washington ...... 25 90% Sauvignon Blanc & 10% from Columbia Valley AVA. Grapes picked early in the season at just the perfect ripeness and favor. Cool and slow fermentation in stainless steel tank with no malolactic conversion. Pale straw color with white fower, kaffr lime & thyme aromas. Melon favors with a nectar texture and clean, zesty fnish. Totally crushable.

Daisy Pinot Grigio, Washington State ...... 28 We love this wine! And interestingly enough, much like a red blend, this Pinot Grigio is co-fermented dry with Sauvignon Blanc, and Moscato. The aromas are compelling, with notes of freshly cut apple, honeysuckle, peach and pear. There's also a beautiful sense of lightness, texture and freshness to the fruit favors that linger on the fnish. The balance is exquisite for the price.

Leitz Riesling, Rheingau, ...... 35 The fruit comes from vineyards in the Upper Rheingau predominantly comprised of loess and loam soils. It is pressed, fned and then fermented in 100% stainless steel. Like all , it undergoes two fltrations before bottling and is racked as minimally as possible to preserve aromatics. This is a super-delicious, entry-level feinherb style riesling that has crisp acidity, juicy aromatics and is dangerously drinkable.

Tablelands, Sauvignon Blanc, ...... 35 (From the winery! This is too funny not to share. READ IN RON BURGUNDY VOICE.) “A Sauvignon Blanc that sings of new life! Everything about this wine is expressed in shades of green; from the bright refections of barely-steeped green tea revealed in the glass to the gentle hint of clipped tarragon on the fnish. The nose offers delicately restrained notes of tender lemon grass, kaffr lime, and newly sprouted ferns. There is an intriguing mineral quality that is reminiscent of the cool smell of a shallow mountain stream gently rolling over smooth grey stones. The palate is surprisingly fuid, thankfully devoid of any overly sharp acid edges so often found in other Sauvignon Blancs. Like a single cord of a violin plucked or a silk ribbon foating on a gentle breeze, the favors both awaken and sooth. Lime blossom and honeydew skin are complemented by a tarragon and bay laurel infused fnish.” (HAHAHAHAHA)

Enkidu Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma County, CA ...... 39 Unbelievable, this one. Casaba melon and green mango aromas collide with favors of coriander and herbs. High acidity with a rich, lush mouthfeel and long fnish. Barrel fermentation frames the high acidity in a lush, rich mouthfeel. All this is further enhanced by the leesy (aging) character of brioche. Simply put, this is not your everyday sauvignon blanc and more resembles the , .

Artner Gruner Vetliner, Austria ...... 39 “Gruner” as the locals call it, used to be nothing but a jug wine . Now, fne- has changed that! The primary fruit favors in Grüner Veltliner are lime, lemon, and grapefruit. There is also a green and herbaceous favor that is often described as white pepper. However, what makes Grüner Veltliner wine so unique is its signature vein of acidity that explodes in your mouth. Pozzan , Russian River Valley, CA ...... 42 Expressive and extroverted from the start, with copious aromas of lemon curd, yellow peach, and crème caramel, with subtle spicy notes of cinnamon and vanilla bean. In the mouth, the well-integrated oak creates a broad, weighty palate with ample space for voluminous favors of fresh Meyer lemon, mandarins, and toasted almonds, with a lengthy draw of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Zinke “Besos” White Blend, Central Coast, CA ...... 49 This Rhone inspired white blend showcases the softer side of , , and . Subtle white fowers and straw tease your nose while the silky palate flls your mouth with notes of grilled pineapple, freshly baked brioche buns, Fuji Apples, cantaloupe melon, and herbs. This is an excellent wine for someone who wants a full-bodied white, but doesn’t go for Chardonnay.

Au Bon Climat “ & Blanc”, Santa Barbara County . . . 49 Au Bon Climat is a Burgundy-centric winery, meaning if the grapes aren’t grown in Burgundy, then they don’t make that type of wine. This is a refreshing, dry, blended white with citrus notes, and a crisp fnish. Richer than most light whites, yet so easy drinking! The aromas are salty, mineral with a lemon-lime note. In the mouth the wine is rich and textural, from the time on lees in the barrel.

Kokomo “Peter’s Vineyard” Chardonnay, Russian River ...... 63 Reminiscent of a classic white Burgundy but with a California twist, this Chardonnay displays favors of ripe pineapple and vibrant minerality accompanied by mouth-watering natural acidity typically found in Peters Vineyard. This Chardonnay is elegant enough to pair with delicate foods and delicious enough to drink by itself after a long day.

S P A R K L I N G // R o s é

Bellafna Pink Moscato, Veneto, Italy ...... 25 Frizzante. Bellafna is a toast to Italian lifestyle. Produced in a lightly sparkling (Frizzante) and easy drinking style, the Bellafna wines are a perfect accompaniment to any cuisine, celebration or occasion. The name “Bellafna” is a union between two Italian words – bella/beautiful and fna/delicate. Pale rose color, notes of red berries, but especially strawberry and raspberry.

Cielo Prosecco, Italy ...... 28 Sparkling. A crisp, fruity with aromas and favors of apple & peach. But the question comes in… how sweet is it? This Prosecco is much drier than the leading blue-label brand. And we think that’s a good thing! With the wine being drier, there’s a bit more alcohol (which isn’t that bad either) instead of added sugar and favorings, so the true favors of the grape can shine though. Quivira , Dry Creek Valley, CA ...... 53 Estate bottled, single-vineyard, and 100% certifed organic fruit. Coming from the winery’s estate, Wine Creek Ranch, this wine epitomizes the philosophy that fne wines are grown and not made. Selected rows of each variety are grown for Rose, which is the foundation of the Provencal approach to crafting a top quality Rose. Grenache-centric strawberry fruit sits side-by-side with ripe nectarine and white peach, with the more typical grapefruit, rhubarb, and raspberry notes.

Turbulent Sparkling Rosé, France ...... 53 A house favorite! Fun, fresh, and fruity sparkling rosé, and deliciously drinkable at just 9% ABV. Made from Gamay using the in Côte Roannaise near , the nose is immediate and inviting with aromas of rose petals, cinnamon, strawberry tart, and apple strudel. A touch of sugar on the palate gives the wine some weight and body, balanced by refreshingly high acidity.

Camille Saves Premier Cru Champagne, A Bouzy, France . . . . 77 This is a game changer of a Champagne. 70% Pinot Noir 30% Chardonnay and all from 1er Cru villages. This is a doughy, plump, deeply apple fruited wine tucked in pie crust. Just so giving and generous. The Saves family has lived in Bouzy since 1894. No herbicides or pesticides are used here and winemaking is meticulous. You can taste the results.

Laurent-Perrier Champagne, Brut, France ...... 84 The wine comes from the purest grape juice and it alone allows Laurent-Perrier to craft 'La Cuvée', a champagne of great fnesse and a beautiful freshness obtained after a long ageing process in our cellars. Pale gold in color. Fine bubbles feed a persistent mousse. A delicate nose with hints of fresh citrus and white fowers. The wine’s complexity is expressed in successive notes like vine peach and white fruits notes. A perfect balance between freshness and delicacy with fruity favors very present on the fnish. This fresh and pure wine is perfect for an apéritif.

Sublime Rosé Champagne “Grand Cru”, Le Mesnil Sur Oger . . 88 This rose champagne will frst attract you by its fne salmon pink colour. A delicate blend of red wine from pinot noir of several terroir of Grand Cru Champenois. This wine has seductive aromas, reminiscent of a summer breeze and a lovely fruity palate. An elegant wine, ideal as an aperitf but can also be enjoyed throughout a meal. 49% Chardonnay, 38% Pinot Noir, 13% of red wine.

Benoit Dehu “Initiation”, Champagne, France ...... 129 Blend of two parcels: Meunier from La Rue des Noyers, Pinot Noir from a small parcel at the bottom of the hill which Benoît planted using massale selection of Pommard clone from Burgundy. Organically farmed and Pinot Noir. All hand-harvested. Vinifed in oak barrels, many of which are made from trees from the forest of Fossoy. No malo, unfned and unfltered. Aged in oak barrels. Unfned and unfltered. Zero dosage. Made from Pinot Noir and his signature variety Pinot Meunier, which Benoît planted using massale selection of Pommard clone from Burgundy. Oak vinifcation and ageing, unfned and unfltered, low dosage. The wine is zippy and round with a persistent fnish.
