To capture the essence of Forty Licks, the 40 tracks that cover the Rolling Stones career, Winemaker Mark Beaman chose to work with Merlot. This varietal captures the comfort of turning to a solid classic that stands the test of time. Much like the band itself, Mendocino County winemaking stays true to its roots with a consistent & confident character not caught up in fads or trends. The 2009 Merlot captures the attitude of Mendocino Countys style. Aromas of black cherry, with hints of mint are followed by rich flavours of plum, black cherry, brown sugar, cinnamon, & cedar. This dry red wine is a fine match for herb-roasted chicken, grilled beef or smoky chili. Limited stock. ...

Who doesn't like a Rolling Stones gig! The first set starts with aromas of cherry along with spice & cinnamon on backing vocals. A 'classic hits' second set with flavours of strawberry, raspberry & black cherry on the palate. Brace yourself for a spicy encore. ...

The Woodstock Chardonnay opens with an enjoyable eclectic mixture of rich pear, mineral, & papaya aromas followed by fresh flavours of Asian pear apple, citrus, & tropical fruit with great acid on the finish. Or as Mark likes to say, sunshine in a bottle. Enjoy this rich dry white wine with salmon, chicken, creamy soups, & white sauced pasta. Since it is the 40th anniversary of the famous Woodstock Festival, Mark was excited to revisit the legend that the event is & draw upon it. The music of Woodstock celebrates community, individual expression, & breaking with the past. Inspired by this message, Winemaker Mark Beaman created a naked style Chardonnay. Unlike other regions which grow more muted flavoured Chardonnays (which are then dressed up with oak & malolactic fermentation), Woodstock Chardonnay is an expression of pure fruit character & the land it was grown on. Limited stock. ...
