2009 VAN RUITEN VINEYARDS CHARDONNAY 750ML
-NEW RELEASE-
Aromas of sweet pineapple, peach and apricot blend together with barrel
aromas of fig, honey and vanilla finishing with hints of white peach.
Our “Chard” was hand picked and gently squeezed to allow the natural
fruit character to shine through. Half of this Chardonnay was fermented
in stainless steel and the other half was barrel fermented in small
French oak barrels. They are then blended together to enhance the
complexity of body, flavor and aroma.
Bottle: $13.99
2009 VAN RUITEN VINEYARDS PINOT GRIGIO 750ML
GOLD MEDAL WINNER-
Pinot Grigio has been said to possess red wine capabilities on the dinner
table. This versatile varietal has also done an excellent job in
enticing the ever increasing number of “Anything but Chardonnay”
sentiments of wine drinkers. The 2009 Pinot Gris is brilliant in color
and accentuated with powerful aromas of peach blossom, pear, apple and
subtly enriched notes of apricot and melon. Our Pinot Gris is packed
with tropical fruit and framed with a balanced, elegant mouthfeel that
allows the intense fruit flavors to shine.
Bottle: $22.99
2008 VAN RUITEN VINEYARDS OLD VINE ZINFANDEL 750ML
After years of playing second fiddle to the so called “King” Cabernet,
Zinfandel has finally become trendy, and in Lodi is the undisputed
champion among champions. This Zinfandel fruit was hand selected from
the first vineyard John Van Ruiten planted over 50 years ago and is
among the families most prized grapes. Our 2008 Old Vine Zinfandel is
packed full of blackberry, cherry and blueberry jam with barrel flavors
contributing aromas of coffee, cedar, and finishing with anise.
Bottle: $28.99
2007 VAN RUITEN VINEYARDS LATE HARVEST ZINFANDEL 500ML
The making of any late harvest wine is a risky undertaking. After the
crop is harvested a few vines are left to ‘hang’ and ripen to their
fullest potential providing very ripe, sweet fruit. The result is a
super-rich, sweet sinful wine that is generally a little higher in
alcohol content. Our 2007 Late Harvest Zinfandel exhibits notes of warm
oak spice and raspberries with an exceptionally long finish. This
limited production wine can be enjoyed with meats, chocolates and almost
any dessert.
Bottle: $26.99
2007 VAN RUITEN VINEYARDS LATE HARVEST VIOGNIER 500ML
It is a rare to be blessed with an unbelievably long harvest season, but
in 2007 we seized the moment, harvesting just two tons of the Super Ripe
Viognier grapes in early November. Sweet essences of honeysuckle,
apricot and tropical fruit develop into a vicious mouth feel and super
long finish. Enjoy this rare desert wine with poached pears or crème
brulee.
Bottle: $49.99
2006 EXPLOZIN Ancient Vine Zinfandel 750 ML/6 bottle cs
*GOLD MEDAL* Explozin is ripe, delicious and exuberant; with rich layers of wild
cherry, blackberry and vanilla shaded by anise seeds. Our 2006 Ancient
Vine Zinfandel hails from a 16 acre, 97 year old head trained vineyard
which from only 500 cases were produce. This big and chewy Zin gets its
concentrated character from the ancient vines and finishes with a
fantastic explosion of fruit and ripe, integrated tannin. This bold
wine is not for the faint of heart!
Bottle: $29.99
2006 WINSOME CHARDONNAY 750ML
As is typical of good Chardonnays, we use techniques like barrel fermentation, malolactic fermentation and aging in
new oak barrels. Our goal is to balance these winemaking techniques
with the unique flavors that come from growing Chardonnay in the Lodi
Valley. The 2006 Winsome Chardonnay offers sweet aromas of vanilla and
spice balanced by white peach, pear, and citrus notes. Enjoy this wine paired
with creamy pastas, baked sea bass, seared scallops and roast chicken
with lemon and herbs.
Bottle: $34.99
2005 WINSOME CABERNET SAUVIGNON 750ML
Winsome 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is styled to emphasize rich varietal
character and body in a classic California style. The fragrant Cabernet
aromas of cassis and black fruit are underscored by discreet notes of
vanilla, all spice and coffee, and carry into ripe, intense berry fruit
flavors on the palate. The structure is firm and well balanced, with
excellent depth and supple, generous tannins. These impressions are
confirmed on the finish, which is long and marked by complex notes of
dark fruit and oak. Great age worthy potential, drink now or age
through 2019 with proper cellaring.
Bottle: $18.99
2007 Cab-Shiraz
The practice of blending more than one variety of wine has been practiced in Europe for centuries and is the basis for our Cab-Shiraz. This full-bodied, yet very approachable blend is loaded with flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants, and plums; with a lengthy finish and just a hint of oak.
Bottle: $19.99
2008 Van Ruiten Family Vineyards Petite Sirah
Today’s wine drinkers have discovered the distinct characteristics of this varietal; dark hues, exotic aromas of allspice, plums, and green tea, with flavors of black cherries and ripe plums. Exhibiting generous tannins and a lengthy finish, this Petite Sirah should benefit from several years of aging.
