I just bottled my first wines under Leaf and Vine 2008 Leaf and Vine Napa Valley Zinfandel – A Zinfandel for every day. Highly refined tannins, nothing abrasive or dry – just silky and fine grained. This wine will not over power you but it will seduce you. The aromatics have an almost aged quality to them with perfume, tobacco, and undertones of briar patch fruit. Fewer than 100 cases were made so don’t miss your chance to get this New World wine made in an Old World style. Almost two full years of French oak barrel aging; planted and dry farmed in the Chiles Valley AVA – one of the oldest Zinfandel vineyards in the Napa Valley. Leaf and Vine Zinfandel is sure to be an enjoyable experience. 2009 Leaf and Vine Sauvignon Blanc A very special wine. The nose is bright with lush stone fruit and layers of lemongrass. The mouth feel is lush without being sweet. A perfectly balanced acidity makes it both a great food wine and a summertime sipper. This is a beautiful representation of Russian River Sauvignon Blanc, with ripe flavors at a lower alcohol level. Only 100 cases produced and is selling quickly.
