| | We believe that the wine should vary from year to year, reflecting the conditions of the vines during the season. All of our wines (except our blend) are single-varietal single-vineyard wines with no other wines blended with them. -
- These vintages are in the bottle now:
-
- 2007 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay
- Ed Quenneville vineyard. The protected location gives the grapes a wonderful balance of flavors that are typical of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
- 2007 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
- Ed Quenneville vineyard at 1800 foot elevation above a protected valley in the mountains.
- 2006 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay
- Ed Quenneville vineyard. The protected location gives the grapes a wonderful balance of flavors that are typical of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
- 2006 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir - Two Bronze Medals!
- Ed Quenneville vineyard at 1800 foot elevation above a protected valley in the mountains. This is a classic Pinot from a classic Pinot terroir.
- 2006 Carneros Merlot - Two Silver Medals!
- Jim Moon vineyards in Carneros, where the heat is right for this deep-structured Merlot with a complex structure.
- 2002 Carneros Merlot
- A well-aged Merlot with big, bold tannins that are aging down now to expose the varied and well-balanced stone fruit flavors that Moon Merlots are known for.
For the 2008 Vintage, we are making our usual wines with a few additions. They are in the barrel now, undergoing secondary fermentation:
-
- These earlier vintages are still in the barrel, aging:
- 2007 Carneros Merlot
- Jim Moon vineyards in Carneros, where the heat is right for a Merlot with a deep structure.
- 2007 Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot
- Regan vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the climate is just right for very long hang-time.
* - We can't call it Port anymore, since the US and the EU have a treaty in place now to protect named regions and styles, like Port, Champagne, Bordeaux, Chianti, etc. I guess we'll be call our wine made in the "Port-style" something boring like desert wine.
