Chardonnay - 2006, Mendocino County Mountanos Vineyard

River run has purchased grapes from Mountanos Vineyards since 1983. These organically grown and maintained grapes were planted in 1998. Resulting harvests have yielded a luscious straight-forward wine that displays the optimum characteristics of Chardonnay. The grapes were harvested at their flavor peak and vinted to capture all a Chardonnay can be by a cold slow fermentation in stainless steel. This wine is a pleasure to sip and can be enjoyed with grilled chicken or fish and is weighty enough for creamed pasta sauces. One hundred and sixty cases produced.

Zinfandel - 2005, Wirz Vineyard

Wirz vineyard was planted from 85 - 108 years ago, at more than 2000 feet elevation above the Cienega Valley floor. Moderated by the coastal weather influences and bisected by the San Andreas Fault, the dry farned vineyard is a mixture of granite and limestone soils, bringing ideal acid and pH values to the wines. These elements allow this vineyard - grown on its own rootstock - to consistently produce moderate bodied wines with spicy fruit and reserved tannins. Serve with pasta and meats.
