Appellation Society / Collectors Club APPELLATION SOCIETY COLLECTORS CLUB NOVEMBER 2015 \ GREETINGS, CLUB MEMBERS Harvest 2015 is behind us, and as you may have heard, it was one of the earliest in recent memory. That’s not a bad thing; in fact, some of the finest vintages come out of early harvests. And while the crop was a little lighter than the past few years, our cellar is filled with tanks and barrels of wine. Hats off to Gustavo, who was right on the money when he predicted the crop size back in July. Thanks to him we knew exactly what to expect. This month’s wine club selection includes the 2012 vintages of Tessitura, Petit Verdot and Cave 7 Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy! Michael Beaulac Winemaker, General Manager HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING TIPS With holidays just around the corner we know you’ll be pulling corks more often. Here are a few tips to sure the wine is the hit of the party! • For a multi-course dinner, expect to serve approximately one bottle of wine per guest. A good rule of thumb is to stock two reds to every white. • White wines should be served at approximately 52-55 °F, and for maximum enjoyment, reds should be served around 68-72 °F. • Almost any full-bodied red wine can benefit from decanting. With older wines, let the bottle sit upright for several hours, allowing sediment to sink to the bottom. Open carefully and slowly pour into a clear glass decanter, being careful to stop as soon as you see the sediment reach the neck of the bottle (use a flashlight if the bottle is particularly opaque). • When pouring, only fill glasses about halfway. This gives tasters plenty of room to swirl and enjoy the aromas. • Don’t forget to stock up. You never want to run out of wine at a party! VINEYARD UPDATE The vineyards are done for the year and the vines are losing their leaves. We’re going into maintenance mode, repairing trellises and pulling out vines that have been sickened by disease. We’ve finished seeding the cover crops, and now we’re focusing on erosion control, making sure we’re prepared for any big storms that come our way this winter. They say we’re going to have an El Niño year here in California; no matter what happens, we’ll be ready! Gustavo Aviña, Vineyard Manager CELLAR UPDATE Though it’s busy in the cellar, the dust has settled for the most part and it’s time to assess what Mother Nature gave us in 2015. This is a time of year when we really put our palates to work, tasting the young wines, predicting how they’ll evolve, and determining what steps to take next. Every lot is different, and though the analysis we get from the lab is critical, our final decisions are always determined by taste. Michael Conversano, Assistant Winemaker WINEMAKING UPDATE Although the bulk of harvest is behind us, there is still much to be done in the winery. One of the busiest people around here is Colleen FitzGerald, our enologist, who is in charge of analyzing every single lot of wine as it goes through primary and secondary fermentation. It adds up to dozens of analyses a day, and provides our team with critical information on each lot’s progress. Bravo Colleen!

Each lot has wound its way to a tank and the primary fermentations – yeast turning grape sugars to alcohol – are well underway. The vineyard crew breathes a sigh of relief. But in the cellar, the work is far from over. “The first few weeks after the grapes come into the winery are some of the most critical in terms of shaping our Cabernet Sauvignons,” says Winemaker Michael Beaulac. Newly arrived vineyard grapes. First there’s pressing, the process by which it rounds out the wine’s texture and helps to the red wine -- which to this point has been integrate the oak.” fermenting in tank -- is separated from the grape skins. Determining when to press the Pressing is actually a multi-stage process. First, wine is nearly as important as deciding when the “free run” juice – the juice that flows freely off to pick the grapes. It involves tasting and the skins because of the sheer weight of the fruit analyzing the juice from each tank every single day, measuring residual sugar and evaluating the tannin levels and characteristics of each lot. There is no formula; each vineyard and wine lot is different, though at Pine Ridge we do like to press when there is still a little residual sugar in the wine, letting it finish fermentation in barrel. “Most wineries put the wine into barrel after fermentation is complete,” says Michael.

  • Appellation Society \ Collectors Club May 2016
    APPELLATION SOCIETY COLLECTORS CLUB MAY 2016 \ GREETINGS, CLUB MEMBERS In this issue you’ll read about how we’re replanting part of the Estate Vineyard that surrounds our winery here in the Stags Leap District. It’s a tricky process, as this is a steeply terraced vineyard that reaches way back into the canyon behind the winery. But I’m excited about the Cabernet Sauvignon we’ll eventually get from these blocks. We know so much more now about rootstocks and clones and what works best with the soils and varietals we want to grow. The quality should be fantastic. In the meantime, we hope you’ll savor the wines in your shipment, especially the 2013 Rutherford Cabernet, one of my favorites. You can read about our Rutherford appellation vineyards in this issue. Over the years, these vineyards, and particularly certain blocks, have produced some of the finest wines we make. Gustavo Aviña , Vineyard Manager ROBERT PARKER'S THE WINE ADVOCATE 2013 RUTHERFORD CABERNET SAUVIGNON • 90 POINTS “…shows slightly deeper black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, cherries, earth, graphite and high-quality tannin. This medium to full-bodied wine is young and needs 3-4 years of cellaring. Forget it and drink it over the following 15 or so years.” 2013 OAKVILLE CABERNET SAUVIGNON • 91+ POINTS “…shows more fruitcake, cassis, blackberry and new saddle.

  • Appellation Society Collectorsclub
    appellation society collectors club NOVEMBER 2018 Dear Members, To commemorate the final shipment of our 40th anniversary year—just in time for holiday entertaining—we’re delighted to include our popular 2015 Charmstone Bordeaux blend and an unprecedented two bottles of our 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon from our home appellation, Stags Leap District. This vintage has earned six 91-plus scores so far, including 93 points from Wine Spectator. What makes this wine so special? The unique terroir of this renowned appellation. Even though Stags Leap District within Napa Valley is small, just one mile wide and three miles long, it Michael Beaulac boasts at least 15 distinct soils within its borders, allowing us to WINEMAKER & GM match rootstocks and clones to soil types with great precision. As diverse as the soils of Stags Leap District are, they have two important things in common: the good drainage and limited nutrition that force grapevines to struggle. When vines have to struggle to survive, they send their energy into producing routinely low yields of small clusters with intensely flavored grapes. Throughout the growing season, these clusters are swept by strong breezes from the south. As the sun sets, it hits the west-facing palisades and heats the air even further, fully developing the grapes’ varietal character. At night, cool air rushes in to maintain ideal, balanced acidity. This high daily temperature difference develops firm, soft tannins. It’s this combination—power with elegance—that has come to characterize our Cabernet Sauvignon wines from this very special region. Since this vintage will age beautifully for many years to come, enjoy one bottle now as part of your holiday celebrations, and hold on to the other to share with friends and family at another time.

  • Appellation Society \ Collectors Club September 2015
    APPELLATION SOCIETY COLLECTORS CLUB SEPTEMBER 2015 \ GREETINGS, CLUB MEMBERS I’ve settled into my harvest routine: First thing in the morning I head to the winery and taste the fermenting grape juice in a few of the tanks to determine if the juice is ready to be pressed off the grape skins. Secondly, based on the juice samples tasted in the lab the day before, I visit the vineyards to taste for myself the grapes which are getting close to ripe. If I’m lucky I grab lunch and return to the winery - this time to taste from every tank to check the wine’s progress. Late afternoon I am back in the lab to taste more juice samples…and the cycle begins again. My palate gets a workout, but I love it! The wines in this month’s shipment are all three from stunning, grand vintages – worthy of cellaring, but perfectly enjoyable now. Two of the wines are vintage 2012 – the Oakville and Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon - and the 2013 vintage wine, Contemplate, is a blend crafted exclusively for our members. Enjoy! Michael Beaulac Winemaker, General Manager OUR CHIHULY GETS A DUSTING As a wine club member we hope you’ve visited our winery’s cave and have seen the amazing glass sculpture, “Persian Set with Ash Lip Wrap,” by renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. If you’ve ever seen his work you know that it’s simply breathtaking – almost surreal in its beauty – and our yellow and gold-hued multi-piece sculpture is nothing less than spectacular. But, like glass of any kind, it gets dusty! So each year someone appointed from Chihuly’s team comes to the winery to clean the sculpture.
