2021 Estate Stone Soup Blanc

Trattore Farms Estate, Dry Creek Valley

Best of Class, Double Gold, 97 Points

New Release!

We are very excited to be awarded Best of Class, Double Gold, and 97 Points in the 2023 Women’s International Wine Competition. Our 2021 Stone Soup Blanc is a blend of 32% Roussanne, 30% Viognier, 26% Marsanne, and 12% Picpoul. Grown in the rocky soils of our estate, this wine is made using a traditional method known as field blending. We create a complex wine with great structure by harvesting, hand-sorting, pressing, and fermenting the different varietals together. It is the best of Old and New World styles. Roussanne provides a floral, nutty, baked bread and spice flavor profile. Viognier adds exuberant peach, apricot, and citrus notes. Marsanne contributes noble tannins for structure and aging, finishing with PIcpoul, which provides high acidity, bright citrus, and melon flavors. We love this vintage and hope you do too!

Enjoy this wine with soft and hard cheeses, patè, roasted chicken, pork, veal, cream-based sauces, spicy flavors, and Asian Cuisine.

2021 Estate Viognier 

Trattore Farms Estate, Dry Creek Valley

New Release!

Our newest Estate Viognier is here, and we couldn’t be more excited. Coming from two distinct blocks, our Viognier grapes face east and west on extreme hillsides. The hallmark of this grape is the scent of spring blossoms that combine jasmine, honeysuckle and stone fruit flavors of apricot and peach. The slight vanilla and tangerine finish makes for a beautifully balanced wine.

Enjoy this wine with creamy, nutty, sharp cheeses, an apricot spread, and buttery crackers. We also love this wine with roasted chicken, lemon piccata dishes, creamy sauces, rich shellfish (like grilled shrimp and lobster with butter and root vegetables such as sweet potatoes roasted with olive oil, red onion and garlic).

2021 Gratitude

Alder Springs Vineyard, Mendocino County

New Release!

Being part of a farming community is a profoundly humbling experience. The gratitude we experience daily is indescribable – with majestic mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The combination of nature’s beauty, diversity of terroir, and microclimates that allow us to produce stunning varietals is a gift without equal. We are forever grateful to share this with you. Our 2021 Gratitude wine is an elegant blend of 58% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Cinsault, and 2% Counoise. A light-to-medium-bodied wine is a versatile drinking experience that is wonderful for all seasons. An aromatic profile has bright berry notes, while the palate has flavors of crisp red apple, tangy cherry, and delicate white violets and a beautiful fruit finish, well-balanced tannins, and acidity that lingers on the pallet. Enjoy this wine with robust foods such as ribeye steak, grilled or BBQ red meats, hamburgers, osso buco, sauteed mushrooms, roasted chicken, and charcuterie. It’s also delicious with roasted herb chicken (sage, rosemary, orange, and red pepper) and casseroles.

Opulent and aromatic, the nose has a bright bouquet of dark berries. Enjoy cherries, plums, and herbs on the tongue, finishing with an elegant and firm acidity.

2021 Late Harvest Zinfandel 

Estate

New Release!

Introducing our first-ever Late Harvest Zinfandel. Late-harvest wines are made from grapes left on the vine even after reaching their peak ripeness. When grapes are left hanging, they become sweeter as each grape dehydrates, and the sugar content becomes more concentrated. Nurtured by warm summer days and cool evenings, our Estate Zinfandel develops naturally sweet, rich, full-berry characteristics as the grapes mature. Picked at sunrise, whole-cluster sorted, and cold fermented allows for luscious fruity aromatics. We hope you enjoy our first-ever late-harvest red wine!

Enjoy this luscious wine as an aperitif with hors d’oeuvres, chocolate desserts, cheesecake, and nutty, pungent and rich cheeses.
