For the sake of this wine list, our natural wines are wines that are grown or produced by winemakers implementing organic & biodynamic practices, mostly unfined & unfiltered, and the least amount of sulfur added at the end of bottling, or no sulfur added at all. These wines are complex and interesting much like our food and greatly complement our menu. These wines are alive, have character and evolve very quickly over time in the glass. They are meant to be enjoyed with food, with us here at Alter.

We have two of the finest winemakers and one Vineyards in 1962 had heard me speak about Chile and of the most exceptional vineyard directors, who have our traditional methods. What I described fit with what each been with me for more than twenty years. Though they were doing and their idea that wine was something I have done all major tasting with Eric Baugher, John “real” and a perfect corrective to the “virtual” world that Olney and David Gates, the wines of the last ten years they were pioneering in their work at SRI. In offering are theirs, not mine, so you already know the quality me the job of winemaker they had me taste the ’62 and style of the vintages to come. and ’64 Monte Bellos made from cabernet replanted in the 1940’s at Monte Bello.

  • 4 Iconic, Delicious Zindandels to Try
    | Back | Text Size: https://triblive.com/lifestyles/fooddrink/14094413-74/4-iconic-delicious-zindandels-to-try 4 iconic, delicious Zindandels to try Dave DeSimone | Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2018, 12:03 a.m. Enjoy a full-range of fruity, yet beautifully balanced California Zinfandels. Mid-September marks a critical moment for zinfandel, the granddaddy of California’s red wine grapes. If growers allow zinfandel clusters to linger on the vines until October, then sugar levels continue rising as the grapes soak up California’s glorious autumn sun. More sugar means more potential alcohol. During the ’90s and early 2000s, alcohol levels mounted alarmingly in a majority of zinfandels. Many wines attained alcohol by volume in the upper-15 percent range. Some even tipped over 16 percent. More alcohol became the norm especially in so- called “cult” zinfandels. Monster alcohol, overripe fruit and pronounced oak influences found favor with prominent wine critics. They typically gave “bigger” wines higher numerical ratings on the 100-point rating scales then dominating consumer attentions. More recently as 100- point scales have become less prominent, sanity has slowly returned. Increasingly, California producers pick zinfandel earlier and throttle back to craft more balanced bottles. Drinkability and compatibility with food have regained importance. The movement represents a return to the zinfandel traditions of the mid-20th century when most wines comfortably landed between 12.5 to 14.5 percent alcohol by volume. The nonprofit association “Zinfandel Advocates Producers,” or “ZAP,” for short, leads the push for appreciating zinfandels as table wines. ZAP offers a terrific place to learn more at Zinfandel.org .

  • BULLETIN Preserving the Legacy of Zinfandel & Petite Sirah
    4038 Big Ranch Road Presort Standard Napa, CA 94558 U.S. Postage PAID Napa, CA Permit No. 103 Address Service Requested Fall 2018 THE BULLETIN Preserving the Legacy of Zinfandel & Petite Sirah Cluster Primordia Flowering Cluster Vintage 2016–It was in the cards! Excellent vintages are usually characterized by ideal seasonal weather–you know, typical Northern California-style winter, spring, summer, and fall. The near-perfect 2016 growing season had good winter rainfall, started budding early, saw ideal summer weather conditions throughout Napa and Sonoma, and wrapped up before the valleys’ first significant fall rainstorm arrived on October 14th. Thanks to a relatively moderate and mild July and August and then a series of warm days at the end of the growing season, our vineyards were able to progress to near-perfect ripeness. We are ecstatic and grateful for another excellent vintage, and we are chalking up the Biale 2016 as one of our favorite “poker hands” of all-time. Precipitation: Following three consecutive years of significant rainfall deficits, rainfall in 2016 returned to Napa normal with about 24 inches along with a typical dry summer. Bud break: It began slightly early around March 1st and lasted about two weeks until mid-March. Bud break is when the vines “wake up” from dormancy and we observe the appearance of new green growth. Growth: A moderate growing season and summer ensued with diurnal swings of chilly nights in the '50s and warm days in the '80s and '90s. A couple of heat spikes in late August and late September were typical, but nothing extreme or dramatic occured to adversely affect the fruit.
