2016-Vineyard-Guide.Pdf MAKE WINE. 2 2016 will mark the 5th vintage at The Wine Foundry. If reading wine pundits or consulting vintage charts, you know the string of idyllic growing seasons since 2012 has been widely acclaimed as the best in California’s history. Without tooting the horn too loudly, the remarkable stretch has paralleled our own success since our launch in 2012. What initially began a few years ago in a shared warehouse in Sonoma – has since grown into our own state-of-the-art winery in Napa, with a thriving community of winemakers who reside in 40 states and 16 countries across the globe. To grow with the needs of our clients, in 2015 we added 125 tons of worth of custom designed fermentation tanks, upgraded our crush equipment and built out an 11,600 square foot barrel room and dedicated bottling area. The growing season was astounding - a fourth consecutive dry warm year, which delivered berries packed with structure and flavor. The only disappointment came in the form of exceptionally low yields across Napa and Sonoma; we picked 30% less fruit than anticipated. Unfortunately, the reduced yields affect our Adoption program, so if you’re sitting on the sidelines with plans to adopt a 2015 barrel… act quickly. We’ve added staff to the cellar and hospitality areas of the business. We opened our tasting room to the public in October and have enjoyed visits from our clients, new friends and tourists as well as several corporate sponsored events to the facility. Our clients, as well as our Foundry brand, continue to receive critical acclaim. Last year, we launched our 2013 sparkling Blanc de Blancs and Blanc de Noirs, which received 93 and 96 points respectively. These sparkling wines were such a big hit, we have a 2015 vintage of both in tirage. See page 30 for more information on The Winemaker Projects. A few other highlights include welcoming back a favorite Cabernet Sauvignon site (Lewis Vineyard), the Proprietary White Blend featuring Chenin Blanc, Riesling and Gewurztraminer (all fermented dry) as the base components and adding Sangiovese from Dry Creek Vineyard for those seeking a Super Tuscan or Sangio based blend. Thank you for your continued support and allowing us to take part in your winemaking journey. Welcome to the 2016 vintage at The Wine Foundry!

The site is planted to a wide range of varietals and rootstocks and features several distinct microclimates. Our Cabernet Franc is from the most sought after section – Block I. This stretch of vines is lower-yielding than most of the vineyard thus giving explosive aromatics and rich fruit. Stagecoach Vineyard is rich in story, rock and perennial high scoring wines. Structured red fruit and elegance, soft berry layers into refined minerality and light herbaceous notes. CABERNET SAUVIGNON 5 COMMERCIAL EXAMPLE Nickel & Nickel Single Vineyard Series Cornerstone \ WINE SPECTATOR 93 AVA GROWER / OWNER Howell Mountain, Napa Valley Mike Beatty SOIL CLONE / ROOTSTOCK Aiken Loam Clone 4 on 119R Rootstock TRELLIS / TRAINING Cane Pruned and Bi-Lateral, VSP (Vertical Shoot Positioning BEATTY RANCH This dry-farmed, Cabernet Sauvignon is located at 1800 feet elevation. It’s a trek to get to the property, but well worth the trip – especially considering Mike Beatty has been a driving force of modern day Howell Mountain grape cultivation, helping to define and secure the sub-appellation status of the Howell Mountain AVA. The head-trained vines are spaced approximately 2m x 2m. The site enjoys long days of warm sunshine thanks to the high elevation that puts them above the Napa fog. But, cool nights work to ensure a good level of acidity even at higher levels of ripeness. Wines made from this vineyard have telltale signs of cassis, blackberry, olive, tobacco and muscular tannins found throughout the Howell Mountain AVA. Beatty Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon shows juice plum, wild berry, spicy currant surrounded by tar, tobacco and firm tannins.

Fruit from this area gets the best of both worlds – hillside structure and rich valley floor flavor. Western exposure provides afternoon sun for the 2,000 vines planted per acre (talk about dense!) in extremely low fertility soil. Broken Rock is owned by elite vineyard designer & operator Bill Hill and farmed by Patrick Mahaney. Collectively, they represent over 70 years of viticulture experience and the fields they develop are consistently found in the WS Top 100. This field consistently produces extremely concentrated wines with purple-black color and ripe, dark fruit aromatics.

The trick is knowing the bloodline. While you may not know the name of the field, you know the wines the fruit has gone into for decades. When the Spring Mountain Cabernet usually reserved for BV’s legendary Georges de Latour quietly became available, we pounced. The vines, which eek out just two tons per acre, cling to the hillside at this steeply terraced property. The nutrient poor soils and high elevation result in wines of extremely concentrated fruit and powerful structure. Archetypical mountain grown characters, with dense black and blue fruit on the nose and palate backed by bold structure. Majesty in a bottle.

Our fruit is sourced from the same block as the famous CdV Stags Leap bottling. Director of Vineyard Ops, Al Wagner, has been meticulously farming these blocks for over 14 vintages and keeps yields in check by dropping and thinning when appropriate to balance the fertility of the ground. We have been searching for an iconic Stags Leap District field for the past few years and finally found the one. Opulence in a bottle – complimented by black fruits, chocolate and dried herbs leading to a finish anchored by fully integrated, silky tannins.

Georges de Latour, founder of Beaulieu, purchased the site in 1928 and it became the home to BV’s Rutherford Cabernets made by elite winemaker, Andre Tchelistcheff, throughout the ‘60’s and ‘70’s.

  • Château De Pommard Restores Clos Mareymonge
    CHÂTEAU DE POMMARD RESTORES CLOS MAREY­MONGE NAME, BEGINS BIODYNAMIC CONVERSION WITH ANTOINE LEPETIT DE LA BIGNE Château de Pommard Press Release st Pommard, France, May 31 ,​ 2016 ​ Château de Pommard Restores Clos Marey­Monge Designation In the 1855 publication entitled History and Statistics of the Great Wines of the Côte d’Or, ​ ​ Jules Lavalle presented the official classification of the Comité de Viticulture de Beaune. ​ ​ With a consideration for traditional regional hierarchies, Lavalle ranked Clos Marey­Monge—renamed Clos du Château de Pommard in 1936—amongst the region’s ​ ​ ​ ​ premières cuvées, a qualification now designated for today’s premier cru. ​ ​ ​ With the deepest respect for the region’s values, history, and Lavalle’s 1855 classification, in May 2016 Château de Pommard proudly announces the restoration of its historic walled­enclosed vineyard to its original title – Clos Marey­Monge. ​ ​ “The team at Château de Pommard is delighted to have the opportunity to reappoint the Clos Marey­Monge name. We take great care to constantly consider the historical legacy of our vineyards and the region’s historic roots. Restoring Clos Marey­Monge to its earliest designation is a step to blend local traditions with forward thinking,” said Michael Baum, owner. Château de Pommard’s Conversion to Biodynamic Wine Production Developing over a series of tiered phases, and beginning early in this year’s season, Château de Pommard is delighted to announce its conversion to biodynamic wine production. Since 2007, Château de Pommard’s technical director, Emmanuel Sala, has produced all of the château’s wines. His simple philosophy, “to nurture and develop the specific vintage, ​ to listen to nature and never upset its balance,” is a belief built on many years of local ​ knowledge and intuitively understanding the region’s landscape.

  • LE CLOS Single Vineyard
    RED CROZES-HERMITAGE LE CLOS Single Vineyard APPELLATION RED CROZES-HERMITAGE VINEYARDS : the vineyards are the largest of the northern Rhône appellations. They cover 11 communes in the Drôme "département", on the left bank of the Rhône River. SOILS : the soils vary: from the north, these are mainly over granite subsoils that follow on from those of the Hermitage hill; to the south where are both fluvial-glacial alluviums, with terraces of rolled stones from the old river bed, mixed with loess. CLIMATE : the climate has a southerly exposure in the hillside areas. PREVAILING WIND : the "Mistral" is the dominant wind. SURFACE AREA UNDER PRODUCTION : Production area is 1,683 hectares/3,485 acres, for an annual production of 61,000 hectolitres/678,000 cases. Authorized maximum yield is 45 hectolitres/hectare (2.6 US tons/acre). GRAPE VARIETIES : Syrah (an addition of up to 15% of Marsanne or Roussanne is allowed). CHARACTERISTICS This cuvée is a vineyard plot selection. The grapes come exclusively from a "Clos", that is located on the "Les Chassis" plain, on the left bank of the Rhône river. This is a wine which is only made in the very best years, and its production is deliberately limited to 7,000 bottles (75 cl.) per year. Grape variety : 100% Syrah WINE MAKING "Le Clos" grapes are harvested manually at optimum maturity. The winemaking is done in traditional open-topped concrete tanks, following a 2 day period of skin contact at low temperature. The fermentation follows at controlled temperatures from 82°F to 86°F (28°C to 30°C).

At sunrise and sunset, the Cordillera block the sun’s rays, limiting the vines exposure earth offers it up and we to intense sunshine and the river has a cooling influence on the climate. respect the gift. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF APALTA VALLEY Apalta has a special meso-climate that is different from the rest of Colchagua Valley. Its climate could be described as semi-dry Mediterranean; with a winter only rainy season and a long dry summer season. Rains are highly concentrated during the winter reaching over 550 mm in on average. During the growing season (oct- april), we have beautiful days and warm temperatures with no rain due to the height of the Coastal Mountains which partially block the cold influence of the Pacific Ocean. There are cool breezes in the afternoons and the night-time temperatures are cold. We benefit from a wide temperature fluctuation between night and day; which is a key quality factor for color and tannins in reds. Slow maturation allows the grapes to reach their ideal maturity with high concentration and character, preserving the fruit and high levels of natural acidity, ensuring a long ageing potential.

  • France Few Regions Can Claim the Fame and Admiration That Burgundy BURGUNDY Has Enjoyed Since the Second Century
    France Few regions can claim the fame and admiration that Burgundy BURGUNDY has enjoyed since the second century. Comprised of the Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, Burgundy occupies a long and narrow stretch of vineyards in eastern France. The critical effect of terroir in Burgundy is expressed in its complex classification system. • Vineyards are divided into separate appellations along terroir France boundaries; the full range of classification levels from broadest to the most distinguished follows: District (e.g. Beaujolais or Chablis), Village (e.g. Pommard), Premier Cru (e.g. Pommard les Rugiens) and Grands Cru (e.g. Clos Vougeot). • As a result of Burgundy’s rules of inheritance, vineyard ownership is quite fragmented, with multiple owners for most crus. The Clos de Vougeot vineyard, for example, is split between 80 different owners. • Though soils vary, clay and limestone predominate in the Côte d’Or and granite is common in Beaujolais.

  • Clos Du Val's Estate Vineyards: Stags Leap, Carneros and Yountville For
    Clos Du Val’s Estate Vineyards: Stags Leap, Carneros and Yountville For more than 40 years, Clos Du Val’s estate vineyards in Stags Leap District, Carneros and Yountville have been at the heart of the winery’s winemaking program. Located on some of the finest winegrowing land in Napa Valley, and farmed by Clos Du Val for decades, these three distinctive vineyards reflect the valley’s diversity, and provide a world-class palette of estate fruit for Winemaker Ted Henry. Beginning in 2014, Clos Du Val President Steve Tamburelli affirmed the winery’s commitment to the importance of this estate fruit when he transitioned Clos Du Val’s wines into being almost entirely estate-grown. Hirondelle Estate Vineyard, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley The crown jewel of Clos Du Val’s estate program is the 150-acre Hirondelle Estate Vineyard in the heart of Stags Leap District, in the eastern portion of Napa Valley. Originally acquired in 1972, this coveted land is also home to the Clos Du Val Winery. Often referred to as a “valley within a valley,” Stags Leap District was the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States to be approved based on the distinctiveness of its gravel and loam soils. The AVA, which is just three miles long, and one mile wide, is also celebrated for its ideal climate, which funnels cool breezes from San Pablo Bay through the Stags Leap District corridor. This lowers evening temperatures and allows the grapes to ripen slowly, producing velvety tannins and pure varietal flavors, while retaining ideal natural acidity—qualities that have proven perfect for making exceptional, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignons.

  • 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.

  • Return to Terroir
    RETURN TO TERROIR “Biodynamy, wine growing for the future” TASTING Is biodynamic Wine-growing a Myth or a Realit y? By Nicolas Joly – Coulée de Serrant There is no doubt that more and more fascinated private individuals and professionals are discovering a source of complexity, a surge of vitality, and an additional purity in the increasing number of biodynamic wines. There is also no doubt that this type of agriculture, which differs from biological agriculture insofar as it adds very small amounts of preparations per hectares, quantities varying from one to one hundred grams, that have usually been dynamised in water, can upset those who try to understand it. How can such small quantities have any real effect on the quality of wine? Wouldn’t the result be the same with simple biological agriculture? Faced with these questions, the group of those in favour and those against puff themselves up by publicly making boasts on a regular basis, as behind the scenes both sides prepare for battle. In order to pass from the profound convictions which generate belief to knowledge and thus a more rigorous demonstration, there is finally a step to be taken here. It is on this approach that partially depends the authenticity of the quality of our future wines. Let us begin by observing the corpse of an animal that has just died. In a few weeks its simple elements will again be part of the earth. Thus the question to ask is: where are the energies which constructed this organism in such a sophisticated manner? Who took the calcium to sculpt the bone? Who took the silica to form the hair? Don’t these forces exist in other ways besides forming embryos? A seed, an egg.
