White Wine Selection
2009 ‘Gist Ranch’ Santa Cruz Mtns. Estate Pinot Gris
This is true mountain Pinot Gris, steely and bright with tons of minerality.
With crystalline fruit, crunchy texture and a refreshing finish, this is a highly
unique and striking wine. Limited in production and supremely enjoyable, this
is a wine to drink in its youth.
Only 42 cases produced : Regular Price $24.00 : Club Price $20.40
2006 Santa Cruz Mtns. Estate Chardonnay
The 2006 Estate Chardonnay is another shining example of mountain
Chardonnay. Lemon oil and crushed rock are immediately identifiable
flavors, with time, brioche and toast flavors will emerge. The acidity is fine
and pronounced,though there is ample “flesh” to the wine. It is strikingly
balanced and should age well over the next 2-6 years at minimum.
Only 707 cases produced : Regular Price $36.00: Club Price $30.60
Now available in magnums : Regular Price $75.00: Club Price $63.75

2006 ‘Langley Hill Vineyard’ Santa Cruz Mtns. Estate
Chardonnay
The 2006 Langley Hill Chardonnay has all the elements we love in fine
mountain Chardonnay: bright acidity, citrus fruit and enough weight and
richness to balance the trim structure. The vineyard always produces intriguing
aromatics and flavors with good mouth-feel and structure. Drink now or
over the next 2-6 years.
Only 94 cases produced : Regular Price $48.00 : Club Price $40.80
92 Points : Wine Enthusiast Magazine
2006‘Damiana Vineyard’ Santa Cruz Mtns. Estate
Chardonnay
This is always our most full bodied Single Vineyard Chardonnay, featuring
fabulous intensity of fruit and richness. Flavors of Meyer lemon, apple and
cream are buttressed by great weight and acidity. Hints of spice from new
French oak are well integrated and are in harmony with the bright fruit and
mineral flavors. Drink now or hold for 3-7 years.
Only 99 cases produced : Regular Price $48.00 : Club Price $40.80

2008 Monterey Gewurztraminer
Gewürztraminer represents the pinnacle of exotic aromatics in fine wine. It
possesses flowers, tropical fruits, spices, lychee nuts and a whole slew of other
wild scents. Our 2008 ‘Gewurz’ has fragrant scents of rose petals, mandarin and
ginger. The 2008 vintage show a touch more restraint than previous vintages,
displaying elegance and grace without sacrificing any of the electricity and
exuberance. Drink early and often!
Regular Price $18.00 : Club Price $15.30
“TF Special” Now $14 per bottle (no additional discounts apply)!
2003 ‘Scheid Vineyard’ Monterey Late Harvest
Gewurztraminer (375 ml)
Late harvest Gewürztraminer is an extrovert for sure. There is nothing shy
about the powerful aromatics of orange blossom, white flowers, peach and
honey. The mouth is rich, lush and full. Weighing in at 9.5% RS, it is perfectly
balanced by bright acidity and loads of tropical fruit. It drinks well in its youth
and should continue to evolve over the next few years.
Only 473 cases produced :Regular Price $35.00: Club Price $29.75

2007 Windy Hill Vineyard Santa Cruz Mtns. Estate Pinot Noir
Windy Hill produces some of our most aromatic Pinot, packed with spice and floral notes over red fruits. The soaring nose is confirmed by the expressive
palate- juicy red fruits, spice and a background of forest floor. This wine is drinking quite well in its youth, but should evolve quite nicely over the next 3-5
years at minimum.
Only 100 cases produced : Regular Price $48.00 : Club Price $40.80

2006 ‘Corda Family Vineyards’ Marin County Pinot Noir
Our first foray into North Coast Pinot Noir in many years (Since our last Winery Lake Pinot Noir in 1990), our 2006 Corda Family, stands as a classic example
of “Petaluma Gap” Pinot. Über- fragrant, with wild cherry, pomegranate and brown spice notes the nose continues to develop especially with a vigorous decant
(highly recommended if consuming in its youth). Like all of our 2006 Pinots the texture is all silk and velvet with just enough grip to keep things interesting.
This wine seems like a good candidate for mid-term cellaring, though it is drinking pretty swell in its youth.
Only 161 cases produced : Regular Price $ 40.00 : Club Price $34.00
2007 Santa Cruz Mtns. Estate Pinot Noir
The 2007 Estate Pinot Noir is one suave Pinot Noir. Red fruits, cola and spice dominate the nose. The mouth is lush with mineral-tinged tannins that
are rounded and mouth-coating. With all the supple weight this wine drinks very well in its youth. Slight hints of vanilla and spice from aging in tightgrained French Oak accent the fruit and vineyard spice. The silky texture and depth on the palate allow for this wine to be drunk now or cellared for the
mid-term, 4-8 years. Only 388 cases produced : Regular Price $35.00 : Club Price $29.75

“This is a well-made, tightly structured and richly complex cool-climate Pinot that should
reward cellaring; it’s also attractively priced.” –James Laube
2005 Martella ‘Oleta Vineyard’ Fiddletown Grenache
This Grenache wine is 100% Grenache. Our Winemaker, Michael Martella
harvested the fruit from a one-acre block in his brother Richard’s Oleta
Vineyard in Amador County, where the warm growing season extends well
into October. This long hang time ensures fully ripe, rich Grenache berries
alive with the sweet flavors of raspberry, blackberry and black currant. These
grapes express Grenache varietal character at its finest, with little need to blend
in anything else. Barrel aging, in French adds complexity and structure to this
California-grown old world favorite. It’s an excellent food wine that complements a wide variety of red and white meats, and most Mexican, Chinese and
Italian foods except fish dishes.
Only 185 cases produced : Regular Price $26.00: Club Price $22.10
2004 Razorback Vineyard Santa Cruz Mtns. Merlot
We pushed the limits of ripeness with this wine and it has paid off with aromas
and flavors of anise, cocoa, raspberries and dark berries. This wine is not for
the timid, but it possesses fabulous texture and is packed with ripe fruit. Its
forward nature allows it to be drunk with pleasure now, but it should continue
to improve over the next decade.
Only 151 cases produced : Regular Price $45.00: Club Price $38.25
2005 Fat Buck Ridge Santa Cruz Mtns. Estate Syrah
Notes of bacon, caramel and toasted black fruits are evident on the nose.
The mouth features a mix of red and black fruit flavors as well as spice and
violet notes. The oak is in moderation and the earth and terroir notes are
present and defined. Full bodied but balanced and still a baby this should be
even more harmonious in 3 years. A splash decant is highly recommended
for consumption today.
Only 203 cases produced : Regular Price $48.00: Club Price $40.80

2004 ‘Gist Ranch’ Santa Cruz Mtns. Estate
Cabernet Franc
Profoundly aromatic with notes of violets, black pepper, red fruits and fresh
herbs, this is a seriously intense Franc that retains its sense of balance. This
wine’s concentration and fruit density are offset by integrated tannins and great
acidity. The red fruits are mirrored in the mouth where a hint of toast and spice
add further complexity. Drink or hold for 5-7 years.

2006 Santa Cruz Mtns. Estate Nebbiolo
Our Estate Nebbiolo was sourced from a tiny (.25 acre) block on the winery property. Perched just above the Rapley Trail Pinot Noir, this vineyard
produced its first crop in 2006, many years after being originally planted. The
bright aromatics of bing cherry, plum, mint and the tell-tale ‘neb’ notes of rose
and tar jump from the glass on first nose. As with most of our Estate wines
from 2006, the fruit, rather than structure, is the star. This is very luscious for a
Nebbiolo, there is the signature tannic grip, but it is well balanced by juicy red
fruit. Flavors of earth, anise and dried herbs open up on the palate, with time
in the glass. This vintage is one to drink early or cellar for the near term.
Only 23 cases produced : Regular Price $26.00: Club Price $22.10
2004 Camel Hill Vineyard Santa Cruz Mtns.
Cabernet Sauvignon
The Camel Hill Vineyard really shines in long years with extended periods of
warm weather. As a result, 2004 produced a ‘vintage of the century’ crop with
fantastic flavors and superior balance. Flavors of currant, cassis, sweet herbs
and cherries are dominant. Some cocoa and mocha notes add richness on the
structured, yet supple, mouth. While there is some evident tannin, this wine
has really started to sing. Decant to consume now, but make sure to pack away
a few bottles to watch (and taste) as it evolves; this wine should be going strong
for another 4-6 years.

2004 Raines Vineyard Santa Cruz Mtns.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Sporting cherry, blackberry and sweet herbs on the nose and a patina of toasted
oak to keep things interesting, the ’04 Raines Cab speaks to its arid hillside
origins. The mouth is loaded with black fruits, sweet cherry and great tannin
structure. It is full bodied and packed with dark blackberry fruit. An intriguing
gravel/loamy character sets off the long and complex finish. Drink now or hold
for 3-7 years.
Only 153 cases produced : Regular Price $55.00: Club Price $46.75
