    Vintage

    A slow, cool spring in 2008 delayed bud break, butwarm May weather set the stage for uniform bloom andfruit set. Summer heat units were normal minus thetypical July heat spikes. Windier conditions increasedvine stress resulting in added effort to manage canopygrowth for balance. August veraison was smooth

    requiring very little green thinning.Near perfect fall conditions resulted in only a slightly later than normal harvest

    for most varietals. Considered a cool year, we saw higher acidity levels withyields slightly below average.

    Tasting Notes

    This fresh, vibrant and fruity Chenin Blanc shows rich floralaromatics of jasmine, lavender, and orange blossom withflavors of star fruit, apple and apricot on a crisp mineral

    finish.Winemaker's Comments

    LEcole N. 41 has produced this old vine, Vouvray styleChenin Blanc since 1987. Jean Ferguson, LEcole N. 41sfounding winemaker, loved this wine and crafted herversion of Vouvray through cold fermentation to enhancethe fruity and floral esters..

    Higher natural acidity, longer hang-time and concentratedfruit from low yields resulted in brilliant color, flavor

    intensity and overall balance.

    Winemaking

    100% Chenin Blanc.The settled juice was racked off the solids then fermentedslowly in a stainless steel tank over an extended period oftime at cool temperatures to yield rich and fruity flavors.Upon completion the fermentation was stopped by coldsuppression and the wine was filtered.

    2011 Estate Sauvignon BlancWinemakers Notes

    Our 2011 Estate Sauvignon Blanc has as a light golden hay color withgreen edges. The aromatics burst forth with sweet custard apple,green melon and lemongrass notes accentuated by hints of freshguava, candied pineapple, cream and brioche. On the palate,flavors of bright lime peel and citrus combine with hints of vanillacustard and grapefruit pith.

    The wine has ample weight on the mid-palate with a bright acidbackbone supporting a creamy richness and notes of pie crust,leading to a clean crisp lingering finish.

    We grow Sauvignon Blanc on two estate properties: our vineyardsurrounding our Calistoga winery and our Westside RoadVineyard below our winery in Russian River Valley. Thesoil and climate differences at these two sites gives us a rangeof expressions of Sauvignon Blanc that we blend to create ourunique style.

    The Napa Valley fruit offers us a deft balance of citrus andmineral elements which is complemented beautifully by the guavaand tropical notes from our Sonoma County fruit. With carefulviticulture and judicious winemaking, we capture the essenceof the soil and sunny climate in which these grapes are grown,and the minerality and freshness so becoming to this varietal.

    Vineyard Composition:

    Calistoga Vineyard 65%, Westside Road Vineyard 35%

    Fermentation:

    50% French oak barrels and puncheons,30% stainless steel tanks, 20% stainless steel drums

    2010 Andersen ValleyPinot NoirTasting Notes

    2010 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir has a brilliant color of red rose petals and anose of wild strawberries, raspberries, roses, violets and a hint of bay leaf.. Thepalate explodes with fresh ripe berries and floral notes, and progresses to avelvety mid-palate followed by a long finish that echoes with the wild bramblyfruit found in the nose..

    The 2010 growing season was mild and coolwith heavy cloud cover and fog during most ofthe summer months.

    However, the heat wave in August, though notas dramatic as in Sonoma County, delivered awelcome push to skin ripeness and flavordevelopment.

    This long, cool growing season in the Anderson

    Valley produced wines of great flavor intensity,beautiful acid balance and great complexity an ideal season for elegant, intense wines with agreat expression of place.

    The nose opens slowly to reveal pleasing aromasof berry tart, baking spice and toasty oak. Onentry, there is a blast of very appealing cherry andraspberry fruit that clings to the lengthy finish.Subtle notes of cinnamon spice, vanilla and oakadd interest. Discreet intensity, delicious tasting and noticeably crisp with supple

    tannins. A beautiful wine.

    Production Notes

    The windswept Cypress tree, the unmistakable signature plant of Californias

    coastal terrain, owes its gnarled appearance to the maritime airs persistentmovement inland and seaward.The oceans influence on the Central Coast winegrowing region is significant,keeping coastal and inland valleys refreshingly cool at night, while preservingthe grapes natural acidity. For Cypress Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2010vintage was characterized by high winter rainfall and was the coolest growingseason in a decade. This vintage produced exceptionally dark colored CabernetSauvignon with ripe, pure varietal flavors. Our passionate commitment to ourCypress Vineyards red wines is to preserve and showcase the alluring blackcurrant and cherry fruit flavors resplendent in grapes grown in the CentralCoast.

    Winemakers Comments

    The 2010 Cypress Vineyards Cabernet presents an extremely dark purple in theglass with youthful red hues. An attractive mix of ripe black currants and violetsdescribe the aroma, along with a bouquet of spicy cedar, cigar box and tar. Thepalate is softly dense and rich with a mouthful of varietal Cabernet fruitinessfrom start to finish. This is a Cabernet serious enough for the connoisseur, yet agood choice for anyone who enjoys a good glass of red wine. 2010 CypressVineyards Cabernet Sauvignon would be the perfect pairing for a roasted leg oflamb, or osso bucco. This wine can be enjoyed in its youth, or cellared up to fiveyears.
