Vintage Port

The 2011 Taylor's Vintage Port Wine is made only in exceptional years, following the rigorous selection and tasting process to meet the requirements for declaration.

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
90/100, Wine Review Online

A classically styled Pinot Noir using ancient Burgundian techniques. This superb example of Russian River valley Pinot Noir was created completely by hand in small open-top fermenters using native yeasts. The wine was then aged in fine Burgundian barrels.

Critic tasting note: "De Loach’s 2010 Pinot Noir is noteworthy for its sophistication and food-friendly character. With whiffs of smoke and earthiness in addition to plenty of red fruit, plus sweet, grainy tannins and a satisfyingly long finish, this is a wine that is definitely worth seeking out, especially the price is relatively modest compared to many comparably stylish California Pinot Noirs. …

Gewürztraminer, Hengst Grand Cru, Alsace

The Hengst Grand Cru enjoys an old reputation for being the place to grow Gewurztraminer. The combination of a high lime content calcareous soil, some marl, a warm and dry setting, but not too precocious, provide the best conditions possible for this difficult grape variety. It was very saddening to see these old vines being hailed early July and in consequence, loose about half the crop. Perhaps the very small crop also allowed producing this wine? Who knows, but the result was a beautiful crop of dense, bright orange coloured grapes (modern clones are dark pink/red but less interesting). Interestingly, this wine fermented in two times, only finishing at the end of the 2011 harvest with a medium off dry sweetness. …
