Dave Phinney, owner/winemaker of Orin Swift, rose to fame and fortune with his famous wine “The Prisoner”.  He sold that as well as the Saldo Zinfandel label for a gazillion dollars a couple of years ago and is now concentrating on the remaining labels he has.  With these new releases they have set the wine world ablaze with his HUGE scores.  Robert Parker is calling him the winemaker of the year!  See if you agree.

Take it to the Lake Tasting

Hermanos Torrontes     ($14.99 During Tasting)

•  “Shows a superb bouquet of peach skin, pear and a hint of lime flower that has a Riesling-like personality. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins and a precise, mineral-rich finish that shows what Torrontes can do in the right hands. Excellent.”  92 Points Robert Parker

Hahn Pinot Noir     ($12.99 During Tasting)

• Deeply ruby in color, while the bouquet charms with scents of red cherry, ripe strawberry, cola and spice. On the palate, flavors recalling black plums and black cherry dance upon its soft mouthfeel. Rounded tannins and a dash of acidity combine to give this wine its clean finish.

Dona Paula Red Wine   ($14.99 During Tasting)

• “A beautiful red here with light chocolate, berry and nutmeg character. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a long, long finish. All here. A blend of malbec, cabernet sauvignon, and petit verdot.”  94 Points JS
  

Rhiannon   ($11.99 During Tasting)

• “A mind boggling value ~ Robert Parker”  Made from Syrah, Petite Syrah and Malbec. Aged in French and American oak, it offers abundant red and blackcurrant fruit, sweet dark cherries, licorice and loamy soil undertones. This loaded, delicious, pure, California fruit-bomb is ideal for drinking over the next year.”  “Mind Boggling Wine” – Parker

We hope to see you out this weekend!

Get It While You Can Tasting

Some wines come along and strike a chord with people, and before you know it, they’re gone. Others may move slowly, but become valuable when they prove to be the last of their kind. Then there’s the ones that make a Top 100 list, or get big scores. We have these, and more this week at El Cajon.

We’ll sample the fastest moving Chardonnay we ever had, a Top 100 wine, some big scoring wines, and the last production of one of Napa/Sonoma’s first Cult Wine Makers. Greg Brown started the Cult Wine craze with his T Vine wines.  Tragically, he passed away unexpectedly, leaving the 2008 vintage as his last mark.

Get It While You Can Tasting

Butter Chardonnay     ($15.99 During Tasting)

• One of the fastest selling Chardonnays we have ever carried. This wine always sells out waaaay before the next vintage is released. If you have purchased Butter Chardonnay in the past, stock up while you can.  Made by winemaker Rob Lloyd of Rombauer fame.

Juan Gil  Monastrel     ($13.99 During Tasting)

• “Bright purple. Powerful scents of dark fruit preserves, potpourri and candied licorice, with peppery spices in the background. Sweet and expansive on the palate, showing a juicy quality to its black and blue fruit, mineral and licorice flavors. Closes smooth and smoky, with silky tannins and a lingering mocha quality.” 90 Points Wine Spectator

Tikal Patriota   ($21.99 During Tasting)

• “A rich red, packed with concentrated flavors of blackberry, dark plum and mocha, featuring plenty of dark chocolate notes. Offers a ripe texture, with creamy accents and hints of savory herb on the long finish. Drink now through 2020″  #45 Top 100 Wine Spectator

Le Cirque  Rouge   ($11.99 During Tasting)

• “The brilliant Le Cirque, a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, is a sensational value.  Its dense ruby-purple color is followed by abundant aromas of blueberries, cassis, and pepper.” 91 Points Robert Parker

T~Vine Petite Syrah    ($32.99 During Tasting)

• Though full-bodied and densely packed with dark rich fruit and thick tannins, the 08 Petite Sirah is remarkably balanced, polished and smooth – a Greg Brown winemaking calling card. It is worth noting that among the sources of this limited production Petite Syrah is the half-acre Oak Glade Vineyard, unique for its pre-prohibition cuttings.

We hope to see you out this weekend!

Summer Grooves Tasting

How cold is too cold? Will the wine police show up if I put an ice cube in my glass? Why won’t the fridge hurry up and cool down that  bottle?

With chilling season on the way – you know, hangin’ by the pool, glass of vino in hand, maybe a little grill action unfolding nearby – questions do arise.

Of course, our first rule on pretty much anything to do with wine is that it’s a free country and you are welcome to do whatever works for you!

Whether it’s a laid-back time with the gang or prepping for a night out, these fantastic wines will create the perfect ambience for your summer chill.

Carmenet Chardonnay     ($8.99 During Tasting)

• A lovely straw-colored wine with hints of apple, banana, and vanilla. This opulent and sensual wine finishes with butterscotch and tropical fruit and ends with a smooth, crisp, enjoyable finish.  Perhaps our best selling Chardonnay ever, we’ll sample the just released 2014 vintage.

Veraton   ($39.99 During Tasting)

• “This is a powerful, full-throttle, pedal-to-the-metal red boasting a dense purple color, and a sweet blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, lavender, licorice and earth notes intermixed with a touch of new oak. Stylistically, this is a modern, massively intense, rich wine that over-delivers in many ways. “    SOLD OUT!  Limited to stock on hand.  93 Points Robert Parker

Clos Apalta   ($67.99 During Tasting)

• “Ripe and packed, especially for the vintage, with gorgeous blackberry, blueberry and fig fruit flavors liberally laced with bittersweet cocoa and Turkish coffee notes. Muscular but rounded, with briar and mineral notes buried deep on the fleshy finish. An impressive combination of density and purity. Carmenère, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.” 94 Points Wine Spectator

Bertrand Syrah / Grenache    ($15.99 During Tasting)

• “A ripe aroma leads to rich, concentrated dark plum, kirsch and dried blueberry flavors, with a succulent spiciness. The finish shows touches of smoke, alongside notes of chocolate.” 90 Points Wine Spectator – Smart Buy!

We hope to see you out this weekend!

The Treasure Island Tasting

The Harvest Ranch Wine Buying Department constantly searches for wine deals to bring to you, our customers. Be it an exciting new wine, or an established brand at a great buy, we’re always out there, turning over every stone to discover that one treasure.

This month we found some beauties, so we’re going to offer them all up this weekend at the El Cajon “Treasure Island” tasting.

We have an unbelievable white from the south of Burgundy to begin the treasure hunt.   The great Chardonnays of Burgundy begin in Chablis to the far north, where the traditional style is a dry, crisp, minerally wine. As one travels south, the wines generally pick up weight and richness.

We’ll follow up with a critically acclaimed Pinot Noir, two great Napa reds, and a big Toro red from Spain. “Chart a course” for El Cajon, “mateys”, and help us enjoy these treasures!

The Rising Stars Tasting

New wines and wineries seem to come along on a regular basis, and old favorites sometimes fade into obscurity, ala Merlot’s overnight change from the most popular varietal to the least popular.  Tastes change and  new wine fans come along.

This weekend we’ll sample a few of the Rising Stars in the wine world.  We’ll start with Randy Mason, who makes one of the world’s best Sauvignon Blancs in the heart of Napa Cabernet country ~ Oakville.

We’ll try one of the Monterey Pinot Noirs that are attracting huge followings, and then some of the modern European red blends that are redefining Old World styles.

We’ll end up with a Napa Cab from Oakville, the cult capital for Cabernet.

Should be a great one!

We hope to see you out this weekend!
