2008 Syrah

Continuing on in the tradition set forth by its predecessors, this Syrah explodes with subtle flavors which evolved over its 16 months in French oak.  There are new vineyards on the Vanumanutagi estate which came into production in 2007 allowing us to increase the production of this popular wine without sacrificing any quality.  This wine will continue to improve over the next 5 to 8 years.

2007 Oetinger Reserve Zinfandel
Ella's Vintage

Dedicated to our daughter born in 2007, this blend of our two Zinfandel sources is a rare occurence. Only on specific vintages where the flavor profiles and palate nuances align themselves will we make this reserve wine. Marrying the fruit forward jamminess of the El Dorado fruit with the spice- rack flavor profile of the Santa Cruz Mountains fruit we achieve a sophisticated, well-balanced wine. It will be at its best over the next 4 to 8 years.

Vineyard :
55% Redwood Retreat Vineyards, 45% Hummingbird Hill Vineyard
Varietal Composition : 100% Zinfandel

2007 Mirepoix
Ella's Vintage

The Fernwood Estate Mirepoix (pronounced mir-pwa) is dedicated to our daughter, who was born in 2007, and is a result of the inspirational wines on La Garonne river in France. Just like the classic cooking combination, this wine is the basis for wonderful evenings. An approachable wine of great depth, it elegantly illustrates that the structure of classic wines from this region can marry well with the soft fruit styling of Merlot to give an ultimate expression whose whole is far greater than the sum of its parts!

Vineyard :

Varietal Composition : 62% Merlot 38% Cabernet Sauvignon 2% Petit Verdot

2007 Central Coast Petite Sirah
Ella's Vintage

Dedicated to our daughter born in 2007, this wine is made from a beautiful vineyard nestled in a valley in the coastal range. Every vine is head-trained; there are no wires in the vineyard. This translates too vines only producing as much fruit as they can physically hold, giving intense varietal character to the wine. Petite Sirah is a misnomer; this wine is huge and goes great with tomato sauces and other intensely flavored foods. It will continue to improve and evolve over the next 8 to 10 years.
