2009 Finca El Reposo Saint Jeannet $9.95
Argentina, MendozaVarietal: 100% Saint Jeannet
Vinification: Malolactic in Stainless Steel
In 2000 the winery started researching the oenological qualities of Saint Jeannet a long lost variety planted in Argentina in 1912, and the only planting of Saint Jeannet left on the planet on a 2 plot located in Cruz de Piedra, Mendoza.
A white grape of late ripening that gives a well-structured body, good acidity and fine aromas. This wine displays a yellow color with greenish hints. Dry herbs, honey and bee wax aromas stand out. It is a wine of particular style.
This wine was fermented in stainless steel and has 100% malolactic fermentation. Being old-vine, the vineyard yields very little fruit — tonnage is only about 2.7 per acre.
2007 Michael Pozzan Annabella Pinot Noir $16.95
California, CarnerosThe Annabella line is a collection of wines that are sourced from premium vineyards throughout the Sonoma and Napa Valleys. Named in honor of Michael's grandmother, they include a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. These wines represent not only quality, but value as well. Because of their popularity and limited production, the Annabella wines are allocated on an annual basis.
The Michael Pozzan winery is almost never seen reviewed in the big wine publications, but they quietly produce wines from Napa and Sonoma that over deliver on quality for the price. Annabella wines are friendly, approachable and ready to savor.
Their 2007 Pinot Noir is made from grapes grown in the Carneros region at the northern end of San Francisco bay, where the cool ocean breezes make ideal conditions for growing great Pinot Noir.
Winemaker's Notes: A full flavored wine with medium body and a rich concentration of fruit. It has aromas of black cherry and plum that follow through on the finish. Aging in French oak helped to create a complex and refined wine.
