Grapes were farmed and harvested from four single vineyards in Napa Valley. The majority of Zinfandel and 100% of the Charbono is from old, dry farmed vines (60 to 100 years old) planted in the Frediani Vineyard, located on the property just north of us in Calistoga. Out in the warm climes of Pope Valley (Eastern Vacas Mountains) is the Moss Creek vineyard where the remainder of the Zinfandel was harvested from 20 to 30 year old vines. Long family friends, Joan and Will Nord, have a small vineyard named “Trio C” in Yountville and a little over an acre is dedicated to Petite Sirah—we love this site. And, grower Jan Kruppe farms some of Napa’s finest Syrah on his Stage Coach Vineyard, high in the mountains of the Eastern Oakville District.

The 2010 Maldonado Chardonnay is a delightfully expressive wine with a lively bouquet of fresh cut lemon grass, light green apple, wet stones, and fragrant whie flowers. The palate is taken with crisp acidity, exotic pineapple, hints of apricot and savory citrus.

The 2009 is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot using the very best lots from Venge's Oakville and Calistoga Estate Vineyards. This wine displays rich and generous fruit with ripe berry, vanillin, cocoa, and toasty oak filling the glass. On the palate the wine is supple and fleshy, with full flavors of black cherry and mocha and an extraordinary long finish.
