The Pianetta farming family spans four generations, and it is that life commitment which is at the core of their winemaking philosophy. The hand-crafted Bilancio, with 60% Syrah and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, represents the winemaking mastery of the family. The varietals derive from the Pianetta estate vineyard located in Southern Monterey County near Paso Robles on the eastern slopes of beautiful Indian Valley.

There will always be that moment you want to lift your wine glass, place your nose appropriately on the rim and take in the perfumed aromas of gardenia, rose petal, orange blossom, guava, toasted almond, and other, ever-changing alluring scents that charm your senses. 2011 Roussanne from Cass Winery ensures us that life is indeed good, especially with a glass of Cass Roussanne in your hand. 2011 Roussanne is an exotic wine from a family that commits heart and soul to estate, hand-crafted wine always created in small lots.

It is a wine of legend, and there are those who believe the wine served at the Last Supper was Primitivo. In any event the grape is called Primitivo because it is thought to be the first, or Primi, grape. Primitivo from ViñAlegre qualifies as the new world version of Primitivo, and if there is only one wine to be served at your meal along with Italian bread (as was the case at the Last Supper), let this deep, rich, palate-pleasing wine be that wine.

It is a wine of legend, and there are those who believe the wine served at the Last Supper was Primitivo. In any event the grape is called Primitivo because it is thought to be the first, or Primi, grape. Primitivo from ViñAlegre qualifies as the new world version of Primitivo, and if there is only one wine to be served at your meal along with Italian bread (as was the case at the Last Supper), let this deep, rich, palate-pleasing wine be that wine.

When Sherman Thacher gets its hands on Zinfandel fruit -- look out! It will almost uncork itself with the power. Full bodied, forward, extracted, intense, plush… come up with your own over-the-top descriptors for the 2009 Triumvirate Reserve Zinfandel, and you will still not measure up to this wine. Okay, we will try a few more because every time you open a bottle it is a new act, a new performance. Spicy, plummy, ripe blackberry, and aromas of black pepper, vanilla, and cedar… we bet those work!

The hand-crafted Cabernet Sauvignon, the winemaking pride of the family, derives from the Pianetta estate vineyard located in Southern Monterey County near Paso Robles on the eastern slopes of Indian Valley. The Cabernet grapes emanate from terraced slopes that bask in weather patterns which are the envy of the wine world. Warm days and formidable temperature swings provide perfect acidity and structure as evidenced in the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon. The lusciousness of fruit, not masked by oak, is a result of long days of uninterrupted sun. The wine is aged in predominantly French oak barrels, mostly neutral in order to capture wondrous terroir, and then bottled by hand.

The primary objective of Oso Libre’s 2009 Vino D'Oro Chardonnay was to focus on the fruit and subtle mineral qualities of grapes growing in consummate wine country, while still offering the supple creamy characters of traditional Chardonnay.
