At this time of ongoing pandemic apocalypse small At this time of ongoing pandemic apocalypse small family owned wineries need to stand together and support each other’s efforts much more than ever before. I am posting wines from other small producers and challenging them to do the same expanding our circle of comrades as we go. It might look like the COVID-19 threat has abated with the reopening of many businesses but this week California has seen a sudden increase in cases – this just keeps on going. It’s not over yet! Today’s California Wine Challenge is @arcadian_winery and @joe3277 – Joe Davis and I go back a bit in the wine business. My first interaction with him was dinner with one of the our shared distributor’s top sales people in Phoenix. That was fun – and we stumble across each other regularly and special events. His wines are distinctive and worth searching out. This wine – 2012 ARCANDIAN “Cloe Pepe Vineyard” Sta. Rita Hills – Pinot Noir. If there was an area that I still wish I could get grapes and make wine from in California it is the Sta. Rita Hills in the Central Coast. So many really exciting Pinot Noir wines are being produced from grapes in this area. Joe gets to make it though – and it was a pleasure to have this wine with dinner the other night. Yeah. 2012. It’s fully mature in my opinion – filled up with dried flower, herb, fresh earth and Bing cherry notes. Smooth, complete – just a lovely wine. Nice work Joe. So, if you will @joe3277 and @arcadian_winery - you’ve been challenged! Please, choose another small family owned winery to meet this #californiawinechallenge and post on your Instagram account to pass it on with the hashtag #californiawinechallenge .

More fun words... . #Repost @wine1percent with @g More fun words... . #Repost @wine1percent with @get_repost ・・・ Just stupidly aromatic. Apricot and pear-sauce and gooseberry and the kind of grassy piquantness that shocks the system and the kind of smoky verve that waters the eyes. Radically saline, sweat and sharp fat, monumentally mineralific, the kind of sizzling texture flowing off this thing at cellar-temperature makes your white-wine fantasies absolute REALITY. As I am sure most of you are aware,this is the blanc version Donald Patz & Francois Villard’s Mendocino joint-effort. Sourcing from the famed Alder Springs Vineyard. Racy and complex in the mouth, I think 55° is about the perfect temperature to savor this thick, acidic beauty. All the stone-fruit makes an icy entrance, gilded by lavish acid, black walnut and Buddha’s hand puddle on roux begging for the creamy addition. And the fatty swirl is there, carrying rich, ripe fruit in straining burlap sacks in a train of sweaty mules. The fruit actually accelerates in the finish, presenting a pie-tart envelope to an exuberant acerbic party. And the Cadillac candy gold drizzles down the back of your throat. And everyone applauds. You will too. 2018 @terminim_wines ‘Cepages d’ Or’ #Marsanne/#Roussanne/#Viognier/#PicpoulBlanc 54/22/12/12 #alderspringsvineyard #mendocinowine Co. #California 13.5 #sophienwaldglass

Read Our Reviews…

I tasted this earlier in the year at Hospice du Rhone and it was one of my favorite whites of the day. In the mouth, the headiness undeniably Rhone white varieties comes on early and strong. This is not Chard or Viognier. Respectfully fat as a South France grape should be, but tempered with the Northern Rhone crispness Mendocino easily delivers. The oxide and stone really show at cooler temperatures, with bitter edginess coupled perfectly to the floral and melon. - Tasted the Cépages d’Or 2017 Terminim Marsanne 66% and Rousanne 34% from the Alder Springs Vineyard in Mendocino County.
