FEATURED POURS
2006 PELLEGRINI OLIVET LANE VINEYARD RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY ESTATE CHARDONNAY OUR PRICE $19.99
The 2006 Olivet Lane Estate Chardonnay has classic Burgundian notes of mineral, flint and wet stones evolving into hints of toasted bread crust. The mouth is rich and full-bodied with firm acidity, and the lingering finish is long and seamless. This wine is tasting great now and will develop an outstanding bottle bouquet in the next three- six years.
2005 PELLEGRINI SONOMA COUNTY "FAMILY BLEND" RED WINE OUR PRICE $9.99
Blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, Carignane. This is the “house blends” that will appear throughout each vintage. The Family Blend is designed to offer eminently drinkable wines for the discerning palate at exceptional value. The wine is a marriage of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Carignane, produced and blended under the exacting standards of our winemaking staff. To be enjoyed with a wide range of foods on a daily basis with family and friends-not for meditation.
2006 PELLEGRINI FAMILY VINEYARDS OLIVET LANE VINEYARD RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY PINOT NOIR OUR PRICE $22.99
The heritage of Olivet Lane Vineyard is long and distinguished. Planted to the Martini clone in 1975, Olivet Lane is considered to be one of the heritage sites of Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley. It has been a source of fruit for many fine producers for years. This wine exhibits unmistakable Olivet Lane characteristics typified by brilliant color, silky texture, delicate mouthfeel, and upfront flavors of framboise, cherries and spice. Although enjoyable now, your patience will be rewarded as it will continue to mature beautifully with additional bottle age.
2005 PELLEGRINI CLOVERDALE RANCH ALEXANDER VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON OUR PRICE $22.99
The 2005 Cloverdale Ranch Cabernet is a beautiful deep red color with purple highlights. The cooler weather in September gave us a wine with classic Cabernet aromatics and structure. Ripe black cherry and current aromas dominate the nose with chocolate, coffee and spice notes adding complexity. The vintage once again put its stamp on the wine. The structure is firm and elegant and promises a graceful evolution in bottle.
2005 PELLEGRINI FAMILY VINEYARDS "MILESTONE" SONOMA COUNTY BORDEAUX BLEND RED WINE OUR PRICE $44.99
Pellegrini's answer to Opus One...Milestone was conceived by selecting special lots of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc to form a mosaic that would be defined by its depth of color, richness, complexity, and supple texture. With Merlot as the dominant variety, it is a stylistic nod to the wines we admire from Pomerol and St. Emilion. Winemakers Notes: As a tribute to our founders, we are pleased to introduce a wine that commemorates the 75th anniversary of Pellegrini Family Vineyards. With the first winery bonded in 1933, the company’s history spans four generations, and traces its evolution from being a grape and wine merchant house to producer of estate-bottled Sonoma County wines. The five components of this blend were produced by traditional artisan winemaking methods that include fermentation in open-top stainless steel vats, with frequent hand punch downs. The wines were aged separately in new and one-year-old barrels for a year. Then the final blend was assembled and aged for an additional eight months before being bottled in August 2007.
