Last Chance

Thomann Station Vineyard sits just behind our winery on Highway 29. Planted solely to Petite Sirah, this site benefits from the warmth of the St. Helena sun, yielding ripe, round flavors. The 2014 vintage exhibits dense dark fruit aromas and an inky opacity. On the palate, it conjures up blueberry pie, plum and black currant with faint hints of pepper on the finish. Plush and decadent, this Petite Sirah is a worthwhile winter companion – decant for an hour and enjoy by the fire.

Our 2018 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a delightfully approachable wine. Aromas of crushed dried violet, dark berries and mocha greet the nose. Textured layers of black cherry and black raspberries meld together with notes of oak and vanilla. The silky palate leads to a lingering, vibrant finish. Following harvest, the Pinot Noir grapes were cold soaked for at least two days to enhance extraction of the variety’s vibrant color and delicate flavors. Burgundian yeast selections were introduced for primary fermentation. Malolactic fermentation occurred on light lees in barrel, which promoted a seamless integration of wine and oak. The wine was aged sur lie to create a round, soft mouthfeel, and racked in July to form the base of the wine to marry flavors. A complex oak aging regime of new and used barrels imparted sweet aromas of vanilla framed by hints of toast and roasted nuts.
