Last year, we released the 2007 Pinot Gris and the 2007 Maresh vineyard Riesling. The 2007 vintage was truly a great vintage for whites, and the Pinot Gris is showing beautiful citrus notes along with balanced minerality. The 2007 Riesling, from 40-year-old Maresh vines, is a bright and lively wine, with limestone, petrol, and the tiniest hint of sugar.
This past Thanksgiving, we released our 2007 Pinot Noirs. The 2007 vintage was also a great year for Pinot Noir. Some critics initially panned the vintage because it was a difficult year, and not all of the wines that came out of it were show stoppers. There was a significant rain event on 9/29/07, and those who panicked and picked everything before the rain were able to make decent wine but those who waited (and we did) were rewarded. The grapes gained flavor but not alcohol due to the cool weather. The resulting wines have superb natural acidity, modest alcohol levels, but also superb flavors and concentration.

2008, by contrast, was long and cool with lower yields. There was not heavy rain pressure, so grapes were allowed to ripen slowly over time. These wines are balanced with great purity of fruit and structure.
