Clones 667 and Swan are combined in the ’06
La Encantada bottling, aged in a combination of both new and used
French oak barrels. Luxuriant, dark and supple, packed with vivid
ripe berry flavors, a deep smoky plumminess, and slick balanced
tannins, the wine promises a very rewarding future (although the
present is quite nice as well).
Wonderful with grilled or roasted game; mushrooms
and Tasso pasta; paprika-rubbed pork ribs; lamb chops; etc.
Case production: 1,300
Price: $49 per bottle, $529.20 per case |

Positively brimming with fruity aromatics and
flavors, we find this wine (made from grapes from our certified
organic estate vineyards) dominated by a mix of fresh crushed berries
and dark cherries, shot through with a floral-spice element and
a beet-root-meets-cola essence. The wine showcases the dark rich
side of Pinot Noir and already has a supple smooth texture with
clean acidity.
We’d suggest roasts and grilled meats as
accompaniments; barbeque shrimp with grits; pan-roasted salmon filets,
etc!

This single-clone, single-vineyard Pinot Noir
is a bold, approaching-chewy wine, somewhat earthy-foresty, with
a hint of mushroom in the nose, and a dark complexity weaving in
purple flowers, purple fruits, violets and berries, giving way to
a dense, nice finish.
Grilled lamb chops, roast pork, chicken with mushrooms,
etc.

Clone 777 is probably the “Noir-est”
of our individual Pinot clone bottlings, showing deep, dark, rich
texture and character. Lots of black fruit flavors: black cherries,
black plums, black berries… There is also a loamy, sweet-earth
day-old-rose component pushing this wine in the direction of pairing
with hearty meaty dishes, game, roasts and grills and deep rich
sauces employing mushrooms and/or truffles.

Our Mount Eden cuttings were obtained by Richard
Sanford around 1970 from the Santa Cruz Mountain vineyard of the
same name. The wine is bright and brilliant, perhaps the prettiest
and most feminine of our three single-clone bottlings… Lots
of flowery aromas, spicy herbal notes and high-toned cherry, raspberry
fruit… fairly “grippy” with tannins right now,
it seems that 2 or 3 years of bottle age will contribute to its
overall composure.
Classic with grilled salmon, lighter roasts, French
onion soup (yeah baby), etc.
