Every once in a while nature provides the substance for a truly remarkable wine. "Larmes de Grappe," or "Tears of the Whole Cluster," is one such wine. "Larmes de Grappe" was produced from grapes, the likes of which, Jim Clendenen has never seen

A classic Bordeaux blend. 1/3 each Cabernet, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.

This is the last of our Alban Chardonnays (a great run from ’95 to ’00) and we are going to miss it.

One of the major commitments that Jim Clendenen made in 1994 was a 7-acre Barbera vineyard in the very cool Santa Maria Valley. To plant Barbera in a Pinot Noir zone was a tremendous gamble, and the result has been a rewarding one.

This wine is as natural a product of its Russian River Valley heritage as is possible, both from the vineyard, and in the cellar.

This chardonnay reflects Jim's ideal: superb concentration without over-ripening ... low alcohol with strength and persistence. A special bottling that celebrates the terroir of the Clendenen family's "Le Bon Climat" vineyard.

This is a unique, textural, and complex wine with hints of lavender, marzipan, violets, and white chocolate aromas. A great food wine popular with restaurants. A blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Aligote, which is a recreation of the original planting

While most Au Bon Climat Pinots are vineyard specific, Isabelle is created by masterful blending in the cellar of the best barrels from those specific sites (Bien Nacido, Sanford & Benedict, Talley Rincon, Mt. Carmel...the proportions are a very proprietary secret). The result is a wine of incredible depth, complexity, and focus- very serious Pinot. For this year's Isabelle, Jim was presented with more quality components than he has ever had to work with due to the exceptional nature of the vintage. A brilliant effort worthy of space in any cellar- it will live for years.

Has the usual Bien Nacido hard spice of black pepper, clove, and juniper. La Bauge au Dessus translates into “the decadent party up above” these vineyards are the highest planting of Pinot Noir at Bien Nacido Vineyard.

Warm exposure from the cool Santa Rita Hills AVA imbues this wine with tropical notes and a distinctive minerality.

This wine is all about place and earth. The nose is distinctively Santa Rita Hills. The vineyard’s cool climate and low yields offer strength on the palate combined with a great finish.

The style of this wine combines the richness of a California Chardonnay with the crisp beautiful finish of a white French Burgundy. Bien Nacido and Le Bon Climat Vineyards.

Our most developed Orange Muscat, and our last. The 2000 has by far the most botrytis, and the most unctuous mouth feel of the Orange Muscat series.

The Pinot Blanc provides minerality and density with apple and melon notes while the Pinot Gris gives texture and lavender and marzipan aromatics. Great value, great alternative to Chardonnay. Very popular.

This Pinot Noir comes from the Elke Vineyard located in the Anderson Valley of Northern California. The Anderson Valley has a cool, coastal climate perfect for growing pinot noir. This is a varietal sturdy wine, with plenty of depth.

From the north end of the Willamette Valley. The 2001 is a vintage for the cellar ... Great structure from a cool, temperate vintage.

The Il Podere Primogenito is a wine that we have been making since 1998, the first year our estate Italian varieties produced normal yields. This combination of grapes creates a wine that is much more profound than the individual components.

Our version of a "Super Tuscan." Bold ... bright ... delicious. A superb food wine with great acidity. Roughly, one third each -- Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc.

Directly across the valley from Mt. Carmel, Sanford & Benedict’s northern exposure contributes to the Chablisian characteristics of this wine

This vineyard section was planted to Dijon clones 667 and 777, providing this wine with extraordinary richness and dark fruit character. This Sanford & Benedict is a newer section form the oldest and best site in Santa Rita Hills.

65% Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay and 35% Rancho Vinedo Vineyard Chardonnay -- Fruit entirely from the heart of the Santa Maria Valley AVA in Coastal Santa Barbara County 8,000 cases produced, 13.5% alcohol, 3.38 pH., .67 T.A. -- The 2002 growing season was a warm one for the coast, with vineyard yields lower than normal for Chardonnay. We picked the vast majority of our Chardonnay between 23.1° brix and 23.8° brix for balance acidity, balanced alcohol and properly ripe fruit characters. The resulting wine, after fermentation in Francois Freres French oak barrels of which less than 20 % were new, was matured sur lie in the same barrels for 9-10 months. It was bottled without filtration. This natural, non-technological, stylish and traditional winemaking consistently produces elegant, textural, complex and food-enhancing Chardonnays. The 02 reminds me of the ’85,’89,’92 and ’99 wines. It has aromas of citrus, stone fruit, fennel and custard apple. The flavors are smooth and integrated, creamy and tense, with apricot, golden delicious apple and lemon verbena nuances. This ’02 wine is the 21st in a series of ABC Santa Barbara County Chardonnays and embodies the same regional style that we have refined over the years.

With fruit sourced from Garey, Bien Nacido, Rancho Vinedo, and Le Bon Climat, this wine is aromatic and floral -- brimming with elegance & finesse.
