presents: Carneros Chardonnay winemaker notes & food suggestions.
Geoff farms our Chardonnay in the breezy Carneros District
where the cooling bay fog added to the effect of the long ripening
season yielding small, intensely flavored clusters. Following harvest
the first week of October, he fermented half the juice in oak for
roundness and richness and the other half in stainless steel for
vibrant fruit character. He brought the two together to create
a fresh style of great complexity and vitality. A bright perfume
of green apple, sweet vanilla, pineapple and spice anticipates
lively flavors of Asian pear, Meyer lemon and toasty oak. The creamy,
lingering finish is the mark of several months of aging sur lies.

presents: Carneros Tempranillo winemaker notes & food suggestions.
Temprano translates from Spanish as "early" and Tempranillo is the great red grape of Spain, grown in virtually every wine-producing region there. It's been almost unknown here in California until recent years but is gaining in popularity for its wonderful, deep color, strawberry-like character and tremendous minerality and spice.
This Goosecross Tempranillo presents bright, forward fruit with loads of bing cherry, ripe plum, sweet tobacco, anise and a hint of earth and spice.
