Leaf and Vine 2010 Amador County Zinfandel

“Quartz Block” Appellation, Amador County, California

Using a diverse mixture of French Oak barrels we’ve produced a wine that rivals anything you will find from Dry Creek, Napa Valley or other similar appellations. it’s aromatically complex with smells as diverse as Black Pepper, Molasses, Rhubarb, Mint, Blackberries, Anise and Vanilla; let it sit in the glass and all the beauty of briar patch fruit and the Amador terroir come through. The mouth feel has length and structure that rivals many Napa Valley Cabernets, but with the same bright up front vibrancy you hope for in a great Zin. Buy this Wine!

Leaf and Vine 2010 Russian River Sauvignon Blanc

“Grand View” Appellation, Sonoma County, California

This wine has developed a layered mouth feel with sweet, soft tannins without any residual sugar. The acidity is still crisp – letting you know that it’s Sauvignon Blanc – but its complex nature really separates it from a Sauvignon Blanc market that has become generic. (This is starting to change; there are some really interesting winemaking techniques being used in recent years.) On the nose the wine is laced with stone fruits and citrus notes; a hint of lemon grass and vanilla really give this wine a spice character that balances that Russian River fruit. Buy this Wine!
