  • SONOMA COUNTY: Primarily from the Las Brisas Vineyard in the Los Carneros AVA
    THREE COUNTY PINOT NOIR Reata comes from the Spanish word for lariat, also known as a lasso. The lariat honors our ranching tradition and winemaking philosophy. Just as lariats are woven together, our Reata wines are sourced from exceptional vineyards in California’s most celebrated growing regions and woven together by our winemaker. The ocean winds and fog float above California’s coastal vineyards creating the perfect conditions for growing expressive, fine Pinot Noir. The marine influence, California sunshine and soil types allow Pinot Noir to ripen slowly over a long growing season. The expressions of Pinot Noir produced in the different coastal regions vary greatly. Our Pinot Noir is blended from Three Counties to ensure it is fruit-forward with well-integrated tannins. Every year, our Winemaker Linda Trotta hand-selects vineyards from each county to complete this blend. • SONOMA COUNTY: Primarily from the Las Brisas Vineyard in the Los Carneros AVA. Close to sea-level, the wind and fog from the San Pablo Bay cools this region. This along with the dense, shallow clay soils imparts elegance and a red fruit profile into the wine. • MONTEREY COUNTY: Celebrated for proximity to the ocean, arid climate and gravelly soils, the Arroyo Seco AVA allows for a nice texture on the middle SONOMA palette.

  • 2016 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
    2016 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir The Russian River Valley has established itself as one of the premier locations for Pinot Noir on earth, and for good reason. The wines from this appellation consistently show the bright, fruity exuberance of California wine, while displaying the haunting nuance of wines from its homeland in Burgundy. The grapes for this wine were sourced from the Gunsalus vineyard in the very cool Green Valley area of the Russian River Valley AVA. The beautiful garnet with a hint of purple color captivates you upon first look. The 2016 Russian River Valley leads with aromas of violets, bramble berry, clove and tea leaves. Additional aromas of dried orange peel studded with cloves mix with light oak and raspberry. The mouthfeel is full and juicy, supported by acidity, silky tannins and a subtle hint of oak that finishes rich and warm. Complex, yet elegant and refined, this is one to pull the cork on tonight and enjoy. After hand sorting the clusters were destemmed into a small open-top fermenter. After a two day cold soak the must was inoculated with Assmanhausen yeast. The cap was punched-down twice daily by hand. After a gentle pressing the wine was inoculated for malo-lactic fermentation and barreled down to traditional burgundian barrels. The barrels used were 30% new French oak and 70% two and three year old French barrels. The wine was aged in barrel for 10 months, and bottled without fining or filtration. 325 cases produced.

  • 19.99 $28.00 29%
    Retail Savings $19.99 $28.00 29% 2012 Iron Horse Unoaked Chardonnayproduct-timed-pdf - Russian River Valley *First Access - New Release | Member Exclusive Value Why We're Drinking It From California's golden vintage, the year that made vintners in France green with envy, comes this brand new release of the estate-bottled 2012 Iron Horse Unoaked Chardonnay. A pioneer in the Green Valley appellation within the Russian River area of Sonoma County, the Iron Horse family graciously gave us a limited allocation to share with invino members before it goes to market. Snap it up while it's fresh, before Wine Enthusiast gives it another 90+ point rating like the last four vintages and everyone else is clamoring to get their hands on it! Four reasons we love it: • Celebrated Winemaker: David Munksgard’s wines are expressive, stylish, highly nuanced, bright, focused, soft and silky. Above all, he says he strives for exquisite balance in his wines. Tongue in cheek, he commented “Our style is not ‘knock your socks off’ wines. We prefer to glide your socks off.” • Golden Vintage: 2012 was a text book perfect "golden" vintage resulting in an elegant, polished, bright, balanced and silky chardonnay. All of the UnOaked Chardonnay had at least one hour of skin contact in the press to control acidity, to avoid fruit reducing malolactic fermentation, and to extract bright aromatic and flavor compounds. David then followed with a cold stainless steel fermentation (between 60-63F) to retain esters, i.e. brightness, minerality, and exotic fruit elements. • Game Time Decision: The team at Iron Horse waits until harvest to decide whether to make sparkling or still, as the only difference is the brix level (or the amount of sugar in the grapes, less for sparklings, more for still).

  • The Small Sonoma Winery with Asian Ambitions by Robin Lynam on May 20, 2015
    The small Sonoma winery with Asian ambitions By Robin Lynam on May 20, 2015 Akiko Freeman hopes to win Japanese and Hong Kong hearts with her Pinot Noir Photo by: LE PAN Akiko Freeman and her team at the Freeman Vineyard and Winery in Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley AVA, make less than 5,000 cases per year of their widely acclaimed Burgundy style Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. They could easily sell every bottle locally, but she and her husband Ken – who runs an investment firm in San Francisco – lived in Hong Kong during the 1990s, and are keen to have their wines appreciated in a city they grew to love. Those wines are a labor of love. Akiko became enamored of wine – and of Burgundy in particular- while growing up in Japan. Her grandfather, a professor at Tokyo University, was passionate about French wine, and because Japan has a serious gift-giving culture, routinely received very good bottles as gifts from graduating students. “He was a Bordeaux drinker, so all the great Burgundies went to my father, who always shared them with me. I learned to love Pinot Noir,” she recalls. Freeman followed her future husband, Ken, to San Francisco where they began devoting much of their spare time to learning about California wine country. Photo by: Nader Khouri Wine pairing It was another love affair that took her to California. Her father had sent her to New York to study for a year, and early on in her stay she met her future husband. “While I was finishing school in New York, Ken moved to San Francisco, so after graduation I followed him.
