|
In 1995, two seasoned wine veterans shared a vision for a distinctive Napa Valley winery that would produce wines in the artisan fashion of the Old World Masters. George Vare and Mike Moone were major influencers in the industry when they decided to launch Luna Vineyards. Together, they selected a prime piece of property at the southernmost end of the Silverado Trail and set about to transform it into a landmark winery. President Mary Ann Tsai heads a dedicated team in crafting Napa Valley wines of intricate character and exquisite taste, using techniques such as co-fermentation and natural yeasts to achieve distinctive results. Luna has achieved critical acclaim and is quickly becoming known for producing wines whose timeless attributes evoke a lifestyle of refined taste and sophistication. 'Full medium red. Sweet, high-toned aromas of dusty cherry, sappy blackberry and leather. Supple, dense and round, with a terrific core of blackberry and spices, with the wine's oak component in the deep background. Offers excellent grip without being at all hard or rigid. At once pliant and serious, with a satisfyingly fleshy, ripe finish. In sap and texture, this struck me as rather like a merlot/cabernet franc blend.' Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar. (12 x 75 cl)

Luna Vineyards Barrel Fermented Pinot Grigio Napa County California
Description: In 1995, two seasoned wine veterans shared a vision for a distinctive Napa Valley winery that would produce wines in the artisan fashion of the Old World Masters. George Vare and Mike Moone were major influencers in the industry when they decided to launch Luna Vineyards. Together, they selected a prime piece of property at the southernmost end of the Silverado Trail and set about to transform it into a landmark winery. President Mary Ann Tsai heads a dedicated team in crafting Napa Valley wines of intricate character and exquisite taste, using techniques such as co-fermentation and natural yeasts to achieve distinctive results. Luna has achieved critical acclaim and is quickly becoming known for producing wines whose timeless attributes evoke a lifestyle of refined taste and sophistication. Reminiscent of the finest Pinot Grigios of France and Italy, the 2004 Luna Pinot Grigio is a delicate wine with beautiful natural acidity. The winemaking team worked closely with small vineyards in Napa ensuring our high standards are met from vineyards inCarneros, Napa, and other cool areas in Northern California. After 7 months in barrel the wine is showing a delicate balance of fig, peach, rose petals and ripe melon on the nose. The mouth has heady minerality with obvious toasted bread with layers of spices of cinnamon and nutmeg. The use of the French Oak is apparent in its ability to hold the wine up without overpowering the delicateness of the wine. The finish folds seamlessly into persistent fig and wet stone. (12 x 75 cl)

Franciscan Estates OAKVILLE Winery Chardonnay Napa Valley
Description: At Franciscan Oakville Estate our wine's style is driven by the blue-ribbon location of our vineyards, at the mid-southern end of the Napa Valley. Our vineyard property is at the core of the Oakville viticultural area and our neighbors include Mondavi, Opus One, Beringer, Silver Oak and Groth. The prestige and recognition achieved by the wines grown on the Oakville Estate, as well as the consistently high ratings and top awards received by the wines grown on this estate, attest to the fact that the climate and conditions produce grapes of exceptional quality. This wine showcases the generous Chardonnay fruit from our Napa Valley vineyards. Rich, ripe and exotic, it strikes a balance of ripe Napa Valley fruit with nuances of sweet oak from 100% barrel fermentation and extended, 10 months on lees, barrel ageing. Use of wild yeast in a portion of the fermentation and sur lie aging adds layers of complexity. This Chardonnay has a straw yellow appearance with aromas of ripe apple, pear, and honey with toasty oak. The flavours are complex and concentrated; an intriguing blend of power and finesse with elements of nutmeg and sweet spice complemented by the rich fruit. (12 x 75 cl)
