2010 Napa Valley Chardonnay

The 2010 is a textbook example of Natural yeast fermented Burgundian-Style Chardonnay. Ferment continued for 8 months, requiring bottling to be delayed until after harvest 2011. This brought out the Pear, Tangerine, Caramel side of White Rock. Still floral and extremely complex, there is a creamy citrus density to the midpalet. The finish shows lemon, fine oak and just a hint of butterscotch ending perfectly dry and with a harmonious acidity.

2007 "LAUREATE" Cabernet Sauvignon

There is a complexity to this vintage that is both multi-layered and defined. Rosemary and cedar mingle with cherries, chocolate, and coffee. These flavors, all typical in White Rock Cabernets, find a particularly elegant expression this year, as the sandy tannins are delicately balanced by cream and vanilla bean. The effect is reminiscent of some of Napa's greatest vintages, 1991 or 1994.

2008 Napa Valley Claret

In 2008 small yields led to very concentrated fruit and delicious, plump flavors. This succulent claret opens with blackberry and plum notes complemented by delicate hints of spice, licorice vanilla and Herbs de Provence. The finish stays focused with balanced acidity and soft tannins.

2006 Napa Valley Claret

The 2006 Claret is delicious and lively with fruit, spice and earthy flavors coming together into a very complex, savory wine. The aroma starts off with black cherry, tobacco, cedar, chocolate; in the mouth blackberry, black currant, dried herbs, grilled steak, vanilla, and cocoa. Medium-plus body with lots of changing flavors and aromas. It finishes with delicious silky tannins and tons of flavor. A very successful vintage.
