De Loach Pinot Noir RussianRiverValley California
Description: To create the RussianRiverValley Pinot Noir, grapes were hand-harvested from DeLoach vineyards. Crafted using traditional Burgundian techniques, including fermentation in small tanks, hand punch-downs and ageing in 60-gallon French oak barrels, this Pinot Noir is an elegant example of this varietal. The cool, foggy RussianRiverValley climate allows for slow ripening, enabling the grapes to develop full flavour maturation over an extended time. As a result this wine offers classic RussianRiverValley aromas of cola with dark fruit and notes of barrel spice. Flavours of black cherry, violet and a note of cinnamon unfold on the palate as the silky smooth, supple finish glides across the palate. The RussianRiverValley has come to be known as 'America's Burgundy,' and DeLoach is proud to have been an important factor in this distinction. Purchased by Boisset in 2003 and the appointment of new winemaker Greg La Follette marked the start of their return to form for DeLoach. Greg is a Pinot specialist, as his background would suggest, and these are the wines that are the most distinctive in the De Loach range. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £168.62

Simi Winery GOLDFIELDS VINEYARD Chardonnay Reserve RussianRiverValley California
Description: The cool climate of the RussianRiverValley contributes to Simi's Reserve Chardonnay. The influence of the Pacific Ocean gives the RussianRiverValley a long, extended and very moderate growing season. The location of Simi's Goldfields vineyard is perfectly situated within the heart of the RussianRiverValley, close enough to the coast the get the benefits of the cool fog, and inland enough to ensure the vineyard will get the degree days that allow the Chardonnay to ripen to perfection every vintage. When Simi planted the Goldfields Vineyard in 1989, Simi opted for field selections rather than the heat-treated clones that make up most post-phylloxera Chardonnay vineyards. The Simi team took cuttings from some of the oldest and best Chardonnay vineyards in California choosing them for the diversity of flavors they would contribute to the wine. Golden straw colour and sandalwood and brown spice aromas, this wine has lemon and other citrus flavors that mingle with the essence of ripe red apple and well-integrated oak. Its pleasing mouthfeel gives way to a long, complex finish. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £290.28
