Alc. 14.5% | Age for up to 4-6 years | 150 cases produced ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2019 Estate White Rhone Blend This estate blend is made up of equal parts Marsanne and Roussanne, a traditional blend in the Northern Rhone region of France. These varietals when combined have been known to make some of the most interesting wines in the world. Stong floral and ripe fruit aromas dominate the nose.

This wine would be perfectly suited with chicken, duck or mushroom caps stuffed with a soft white cheese. Alc. 14.5% | Age for up to 6-8 years | 350 cases produced ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2018 Vin de Campagne Translating to “Wine of the Countryside”, this right bank Bordeaux blend is meant to be approachable, easy drinking and an affordable everyday wine. The blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and equal parts of Malbec, Petite Verdot and Cabernet Franc is aged 8 months in neutral French oak barrels, lending itself to flavors of bright cherry, raspberry and blackberry. The Malbec gives this wine great spice in the mid-palate, and the Cabernet shines through with soft tannins on the finish.

Alc. 14.5% | Age for up to 6-8 years | 600 cases produced ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2017 Estate Merlot Merlot is the primary grape used in the classic Right Bank Bordeaux blends of France.

Enjoy now or lay down in the cellar over the next decade. Alc. 14.5% | Age for up to 8-10 years | 150 cases produced ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2017 Estate Grenache The most widely grown varietal in all the world, Grenache has been widely considered a blending grape because of its rich, deep color and flavor. This grape can survive dry, hot climates, and thrive with extraordinarily little water because of its thick skins. Our Grenache has a beautiful purple color with a garnet rim and smells of ripe strawberries and earthiness. The palate offers rich red fruit flavors of cherries, raspberries and finishes with warm baking spices. The finish is round and long with bright acidity, making this wine a perfect pairing for grilled meats or spicy foods. Alc. 15% | Age for up to 7-9 years | 125 cases produced ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2017 Estate Zinfandel – Planted 1882 The Wellington Estate is blessed with some of the oldest Zinfandel vines in Sonoma Valley. Henry and Vittorio, along with our winemaker, Tom Foster, decided early on that we would make three different Zinfandels dedicated to the birth year of each of our vines (1882,1912 and 1924). Of our three Zinfandels, the 1882 is the most refined and smooth with an elegant silkiness from start to finish. The delicate palate of rich, ripe red fruit makes this Zinfandel one to savor. Medium in body and soft and silky on the finish, this wine will pair perfectly with pork loin in a dried cherry or plum sauce. This wine is truly a piece of Sonoma history. Alc. 14.5% | Age for up to 7-9 years | 150 cases produced ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2017 Estate Zinfandel – Planted 1912 The 1912 is the epitome of a traditional Zinfandel. The balance jam followed by subtle spice on the finish makes for a perfectly balanced Zinfandel. Like our other Zins, it is medium in body with balanced tannin and is the perfect wine for enjoying with or without food. Pair with a cool fall evening or a hamburger off the grill; the 1912 will leave you wanting more! Alc. 14.5% | Age for up to 7-9 years | 150cases produced ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2017 Estate Zinfandel – Planted 1924 The 1924 lends itself to brighter red fruit, baking spice and a black pepper finish. Medium in body with balanced tannins, this is a BBQ lover’s perfect red. Paired with the smokiness of ribs, pulled pork, or sausage, this Zinfandel will not disappoint. Alc. 14.5% | Age for up to 7-9 years | 150 cases produced ….………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2017 Estate Il Patron Bordeaux Blend The Il Patron gets its name from Vittorio, who many refer to as “The Boss”. This wine is a traditional Left Bank Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and equally made up of Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Made in new French oak, this wine has a beautiful balance of dark fruits with notes of all spice and toasted oak. The finish is long and rich with impressive tannins that pair perfectly with steak or prime rib. You could certainly enjoy this today, but it can be stored for more than ten years, and it will age beautifully. Alc. 15% | Age for up to 12-15 years | 250 cases produced ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2018 Estate Petite Sirah If you are looking for a big, bold, ageable wine, the 2018 Petite Sirah is the wine for you. It is full of dark, rich fruit with powerful tannins and acidity from fermentation in brand new French Oak for 18 plus months. The Petite Sirah pairs perfectly with filet mignon with a bleu cheese crust. It is a truly elegant wine that will lay down for the next 15-20 years. With only three barrels produced, we used only the best of the best grapes for this wine and have confidence that this will be one of the best Petite Sirah’s you will ever try.

This wine is deeply colored and has aromas of blackberry, cocoa and licorice. On the palate, it is bursts with flavors of plum, black currant, vanilla, and dried herbs. A rich and velvety steak or braised meats makes for a perfect pairing. Enjoy now or lay down in the cellar for over a decade.

  • How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine
    How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine Eiswein is a sweet dessert wine that originated in Germany. This "late harvest" wine is traditionally pressed from grapes that are harvested after they freeze on the vine. "Eiswein" literally means "ice wine," and is called so on some labels. If you want to buy eiswein, know the country and the method that produced the bottle to find the best available "ice wine" for your budget. Does this Spark an idea? Instructions 1. o 1 Locate a local wine store or look on line for wine sellers who carry eiswein. o 2 Look for a bottle that fits your price range. German and Austrian Eisweins, which follow established methods of harvest and production, are the European gold standard. However, many less expensive, but still excellent, ice wines come from Austria, New Zealand, Slovenia, Canada and the United States. Not all producers let grapes freeze naturally before harvesting them at night. This time-honored and labor-intensive method of production, as well as the loss of all but a few drops of juice, explains the higher price of traditionally produced ice wine. Some vintners pick the grapes and then artificially freeze them before pressing. Manage Cellar, Share Tasting Notes Free, powerful, and easy to use! o 3 Pick a colorful and fragrant bouquet. Eiswein is distinguished by the contrast between its fragrant sweetness and acidity. A great eiswein is both rich and fresh. Young eisweins have tropical fruit, peach or berry overtones. Older eisweins suggest caramel or honey. Colors can range from white to rose.
