PREMIUM NAPA VALLEY WINES • FOUNDED IN 1897
You might think hang time refers to how long you stick around atasting room bar and sample the entire list of wines.
In the business of grape growing, however, getting more hangtime means waiting longer for grapes to reach maturity and optimalripeness; in other words, stretching out the growing season.Physiological grape maturity is determined simply by tasting grapesand observing the color of their seeds. Ripeness is determined bytesting grapes for sugar and acid content. If maturity lags behindripeness, grapes might need to hang on the vine longer than usual.But, like the hours spent inside a tasting room, adding hang time isnot without risk.
The balancing act begins in August, when sugar levels fromgrape samples start getting regularly measured in “degrees” on ascale called Brix, and acidity is measured on the pH scale. Testinggives growers and winemakers an indication of ripeness and arough idea how close they are to harvest. However, as warmdaytime temperatures increase sugar development, acid levels drop.Waiting days, or weeks, to reach higher sugar levels with potentialfor greater flavor and alcohol in the wine also means graduallylosing acidity, a vital component giving wine freshness and lively
fruitiness. A wine with insufficient acidity is doomed to be flat anddull.
Grapes are typically picked at Brix readings between 22 and 28degrees, depending on grape variety and desires of the winemaker,many of whom define hang time as the time grapes remain on thevine after they reach ripeness of 24 degrees Brix. (By the way, a finalBrix reading multiplied by a “standard” conversion factor of 0.55estimates final wine alcohol content. Thus, grapes picked at 24degrees Brix make wine with around 13.2% alcohol.)
Wine regions with naturally long growing seasons, likeCalifornia’s Monterey County, benefit from longer hang timewithout much risk. They have consistently warm days with fewheat spikes, and cool afternoons and evenings. Measured by theirearly budding and late ripening dates, their entire growing seasonmay span up to a month longer than most other Californiaappellations.
Stretching out the growing season allows grapes to develop moreintense flavor, color, and complexity – all characteristics of greatwines. These qualities are especially easy to appreciate whilestretching your own hang time in a favorite tasting room.

There’s one thing you can count on as a farmer: one year’sweather will never be like any other. What that means in practice isthat the past only serves as example, not as a roadmap. Andespecially in a year like this one, where none of the established pastpatterns seem to hold and our fourth year of drought is with us,how we strategize about the weather and our water use makes thedifference between having grapes to make into wine and having totake a pass after three bumper harvests in a row. What makes thisdoubly fraught is that each year’s decisions in response to theweather affect two years’ crops.
Why? Because vines aren’t like other annual or row crops. If youlook closely at a vine, you will see both this year’s and next year’sbuds, which is why weather damage can be such a problem: agrower is forced to contemplate the loss of multiple years’ income.Inside each bud are really small leaves, and from them come theleaves, canes, shoots and grapes; each bud has concentric layers,which is why weather damage is along a continuum. Lack ofirrigation water doesn’t just impact yields during harvest – it canalso impact this and next year’s vines through the inability toprovide enough water for frost protection. Minor damage, generallyfrom frost, may reduce the yield a bit, but it’s the more severedarkening, akin to frostbite, which is the real issue, guaranteeing acrop loss of at least fifty percent, if not more. Equally, the phloem,the “bark” on the exterior of canes and vine trunks, can also bedamaged by cold, causing crop losses, too.
The best way to understand winegrowing options for weathermitigation is to “walk” through the vineyard throughout the year.Winter cold, even as cold as we got this past year in most of theUnited States, is actually no issue because the vines are dormant,which is why all fifty states have vineyards. Spring is when weather
has the most impact on two years’ crops because the weather oftenflipflops quite quickly, and rain at an early point can be helpful tobring temperatures up while later in the season causing cropdamage via hail or thunderstorms’ winds. Shattering of the blomingflowers can disrupt clusters or keep them from being fertilized, yetwhen faced with a frost event earlier in the year, rain is welcomed asit brings the temperature up above freezing. Summer and autumnheat can also be an issue because too-high a temperature can causevines to shut down, shriveling or even sunburning grapes, and alsopotentially killing the vine in the process, especially if there is littleto no water left at the end of season.
This is not our first go-around with drought in California winecountry, of course. There are actually lots of options for mitigation,and the best, as you might expect, are set up so as to help solvemore than one problem. Believe it or not, something as simple aslow trellising versus high has an impact as far as weather goes. Lowtrellises in the wrong locales are more subject to frost damage, andhigher trellises can provide shade for adjacent rows. How the trellisis trimmed in winter and early spring prior to budbreak is thus onestrategy, and there is projected to be a move back to “CaliforniaSprawl” from the VSP “candelabra” currently seen all over as theNorth Coast replants in the next few years for this reason: not onlydoes this provide different vine growth and Brix gains, but it alsohelps as regards frost or hail damage during April and May, whenthe buds break and the vines flower, and impacts overall vine waterneeds, making it possible to produce more on less irrigation.
Mechanical options to work around water deficits abound, too.The wind machines, those twirling engines and fans on poles; the“Inverted Sinks” or “Air Dams,” which essentially turn the windmachine to provide a frost sink to pull cold air down and awayfrom vines on hillsides and slopes; and smudge pots, the gas firedheaters for the end of vineyard rows which work in combinationwith wind machines – all are ways to work in with the shapes ofthe land itself to mitigate the negatives of weather while allowingthe “terroir,” the locational distinctiveness, to still show through inthe grapes and finished wines by “moving the weather” since thevines really cannot. It’s not always easy or cheap, but the results areworth it, no? Enjoy!

BY CHARLES NEAVEFor the most part, going wine tasting is about the easiest thing in
the world, especially here in California where wineries and tastingrooms abound. You can find wineries specializing in red wines of alltypes, those that are famous for their white wines and others whopour sparkling wine. It is a matter of doing a little research andplanning your day. Most tasting rooms open around 10 a.m. andclose between 4:30 and 6 p.m. Here are some tips that have provento be helpful and are designed to help make the sensory adventure ofwine tasting all the more enjoyable.Before you start off pack a few essentials: Water (plenty of water)and something to snack on – crackers or a baguette. Many winerieshave picnic areas and there are plenty of delis and bakeries that canmake up a lunch for you, or make your own. Which brings us toeating and drinking, the kind that doesn’t directly involve wine. Be sure to nibble during the day and make sure you make time forlunch. Two tips: drink at least twice as much water as you do wine,and remember that you don’t have to drink everything poured intoyour glass. There is a reason tasting bars have dump buckets and apitcher of water to wash out your glass.Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Time and time again I have heardknowledgeable winery workers say that there is no such thing as astupid question, and they mean that.You can drink what you want, in the order you want. If you only like
reds, say so; if you don’t like sweet wines, speak up. But the idea ofstarting with whites, then going on to reds and then sweet wines is agood guide. Zinfandel is red. I am sure you know that but it neverhurts to remind everyone.If there is a particular wine you want to try and it is not on the list,ask. There might be a bottle around that was opened for a tradetasting or by the winemaker. Most tasting rooms are happy to pour alittle if you show enthusiasm.Take notes on the wines you most enjoyed.Take advantage of tours when the winery offers them, but keep inmind that they take anywhere from 20 minutes to well over an hour,so one a day is plenty.Buy wines that you can only find at the winery. These often includesmaller (375 ml) bottles of limited production Ports or dessert wines.Don’t buy a wine you can get at a supermarket back home. You’ll paymore, and besides, what’s the point?Look for tasting rooms in towns. Many of these are cooperativetasting rooms, where in one place you might find wines from a dozenor more small-to-medium premium producers. They are scatteredthroughout the area and more are opening all the time.Don’t give too much thought to ratings and vintages. It’s like art: ifyou like it, it’s a good wine. It is as simple as that.Remember that you don’t have to do the driving. It takes no morethan a phone call hire a transportation company to do the driving.

ANdretti WiNerYPioneer Winemaker Bob Pepi and Racing Legend Mario Andretti take on the ‘Super Tuscans’BY BONNIE ZIMMERMANN
Mario Andretti and Bob Pepi share the same Italian heritage, and the same passionabout creating ultra-premium wines with a true sense of place.
In 1966, during the resurgence of the wine business thirty three years afterprohibition, Bob Pepi Sr. bought a 70-acre estate just south of Oakville, and founded theRobert Pepi Winery in 1981. Always the innovator, he brought cuttings of SangioveseGrosso from the Biondi-Santi Estate in Brunello di Montalcino to the Napa Valley andbegan crafting California-style Sangiovese starting in 1988. Over fifty years later Bob PepiJr. continues to hand-craft Sangiovese and other ultra-premium wines for the AndrettiWinery.
The Andretti Winery was founded in 1996 when legendary race car driver MarioAndretti and his friend, Joseph Antonini, former Chairman, President and CEO of KmartCorporation, brought their shared love of Mediterranean cuisine, lifestyles and wines tothe Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District. The property was selected because of its locationjust north of the city of Napa which provides moderate ocean breezes and weather,cooling the heat of long summer days and prolonging harvest, allowing for morecomplexity in the resulting wines.
Bob’s philosophy is that great wines are made in the vineyards, and as winemaker heguides their development through the fermentation and aging process until the wines areready for release. The wines he crafts are recognizable for their fruity character, balanceand complexity. The Andretti “Super Tuscan” clearly represents his fine winemakingskills. These Tuscany-influenced wines are a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet

Sauvignon aged for 16 months inFrench oak, but because of theamazing soils and climate in theNapa Valley they are bigger andbolder than their Italiancounterparts.
Bob spends equal amounts oftime in the cellar and the vineyardslong before harvest. While visitingthe Napa Valley, many vineyardswill have different types of trellissystems that the grapevines growupon. Bob is the innovator of the“two-hearted” trellis system thatsplits the vines horizontally andcrisscrosses them. This style ofvineyard management is known asthe Geneva Double Curtain, (GDC)and Bob was instrumental in thedevelopment of this system and itsadoption throughout the Valley.This system creates a large, spread-out canopy and promotes afavorable leaf to fruit ratio toencourage photosynthesis.
Mario and Joe leave thewinemaking to Bob, but they areinvolved in the process fromselecting the fruit to tasting thefinal product. Their involvement isimportant to the brand, says JoeAntonini.
Be sure to visit the AndrettiTasting Room, which features 16different award-winning varietalsand is open daily from 10:30 a.m.to 5 p.m.

BY MELISSA VOGTToday, the world of wine sees more educated wine enthusiasts now
more than ever. With the vast array of tasting experiences at wineriesand exclusive bottlings that enthusiasts can take home to cellar andenjoy at a later date, it seems as though the average wine drinker isnot so average anymore. With wine education comes the excitementof sharing that newfound knowledge with friends and family.
What better way to share that knowledge than by hosting a winetasting party? These days, wine is happily shared with friends andfamily at gatherings, parties and celebrations by way of casual tastingexperiences to friendly but formal sit-down tastings in the comfort ofone’s own home. But how to keep track of whose glass belongs towhom? Those pesky charms are a bit outdated and tad cheesy for theknowledgeable wine enthusiast today, but more elegant and refinedis the Wine Glass Writer.
This innovative product allows guests to choose from a trio ofmetallic gold, silver and emerald green markers that are safe to useon wine glasses. Guests write their names on the base/foot of theglass or the bowl, and never loose their wine glass or mix it up withsomeone else’s glass at a tasting party again! The name will stay onthe glass for the duration of the event and then can easily be washedoff with a soapy sponge at the end of the night. Non-toxic, smudgeproof and based out of Northern California’s wine country, Wine
Glass Writer is an elegant product developed by the best in theindustry with the most enthusiastic of wine aficionados in mind.
Now you can host a tasting event, share your wine knowledgewith friends and family, and pour several varietals at once withoutworrying that someone will loose or mix up their glass. Order yoursfrom the website at www.wineglasswriter.com. Cheers!

Jack’s Masterpiece is a blend thatexudes power, structure, richness anddensity while deep, dark black fruitpersists at its core. Dark, opaque purple in
color, the wine exudes a perfume of blackjammy fruits, dark chocolate, espressobean and violet.

Fritz WiNerYBY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH®
Subterranean, intelligently designed, energy-efficient, beautiful, friendly,futuristic, quirky and delicious are just some of the adjectives that describeFritz Winery. Located in the rugged, hilly fringes of Sonoma County’s DryCreek Valley, this winery is simply a “must stop!”
You’ll enter the winery’s driveway through an elegant white gateway,drive over a wooden bridge and then meander up a fairly steep slope. Thedriveway ends in an oak-shaded parking lot. It’s a short walk up the hill tothe tasting room (handicapped parking is available right in front of thetasting room) and the views of Dry Creek Valley are absolutelybreathtaking. The landscaping is minimal and focused on local flora andfauna, with oak and pine trees shading the surrounding area.
Picnic tables with market umbrellas are scattered about the patio,inviting guests to linger and enjoy the delicious wines and the gorgeousscenery. It’s very peaceful on the patio.
The winery itself is a sight to behold. Think hobbit house, crossed withspace station and you’ll start to get the picture. It is a tall futuristic-lookingwhite structure, which is set into the hillside. It has rounded archways forthe glass doors and windows, which let in plenty of golden SonomaCounty sunshine.
The newly remodeled tasting room is spacious and airy, with anindustrial-chic/modern-sustainable feel. The beautiful new tasting bar is au-shaped work of art made from white-washed elm. It sits front and centerin the room, inviting people to stop, sip and visit a while with the friendly,knowledgeable tasting room team.
Fritz Winery is now featuring wine and food pairings every weekend,by appointment, for only $20 per person. Most of the vegetables and oliveoil used in the pairings are grown on the property and the wines are, inmy humble opinion, amazing. Guided cave tours and vineyard hikes arealso available.
The vineyard hikes are offered daily at 10:30 a.m. by appointment.Visitors are taken on a moderate-level hike, where they tour the organicgardens, vineyards and redwood groves that make up the 112-acre estate,and then enjoy a seated tasting. The vineyard hike takes about 45 minutesand costs $45 per person. Both of these offerings are bargains, in myhumble opinion – you need to check them out!
Fritz Winery was designed to be energy-efficient. It was constructed onthree levels to create a gravity-flow production system. The top level,where the tasting room and crush pad sit, is where the grapes are crushed.The second level (first underground tier) is where the juice is sent to becool-fermented, and then sent to the third level (second underground tier)for barrel aging. All of this is done using gravity instead of pumps, whichis a much more gentle process for the grapes and finished wine. Thisprocess utilizes the naturally even, cool underground temperature foroptimal processing and barrel aging of Fritz Winery’s excellent wines.
If you’re looking for a more chic, urban experience, visit Station 1870wine bar (same owner) at 123 4th Street in downtown Santa Rosafeaturing wines from the Fritz Cellars portfolio and delectable dining fromChef Helena Gustavsson of Helena’s Kitchen. Station 1870 is open from 10a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. For more information, visitwww.station1870.com.

St. Francis Winery & Vineyards Continues ‘Sonoma Tastemakers’
Mayo Family reserve room started Food andWine parings in sonoma ten Years Ago
A decade ago when Jeffrey Mayo askedguests to sit down for an hour andexperience a parade of food and winepairings it represented the evolution of thewine tasting room. Today, the Sonoma Valleywinery is joined by a collection of otherwineries that have followed the MayoFamily’s lead in offering visitors animmersive food and wine pairing experience.
The tenth anniversary of the Mayo FamilyWinery Reserve Room marks a decadeduring which visitors to the Sonoma Valleywere first taken beyond the normal “belly-up-to-the-bar” wine tasting experience. TheReserve Room’s seven course food and winepairing was the Valley’s first such offering.Today, the Reserve Room is a ritual for manywho return regularly to sample the pairingmenu that changes five times annually.
“We were not entirely sure in 2005 ifvisitors wanted to sit down for an hour and ahalf to sip and taste their way through a foodand wine pairing with a chef,” recalls MayoFamily Winery president Jeffrey Mayo. “Itturns out they did and still do appreciate aslower paced wine experience thatemphasizes both wine and food.”
The Mayo Family Reserve Roomexperience has remained unchanged overthe past decade. Guests are seated at tables.Then over the course of an hour and a halfthey see three plates paired with threereserve wines delivered to the table by thechef Clayton Lewis. Then another threepairings arrive. Mayo Family Reserve Room
Started Food and Wine Parings in SonomaTen Years Ago
“We think that there may come a daywhen a great many more wineries choose toinvest in a serious food and wine pairingoption for their guests,” said Mayo. “Overthe past ten years we’ve discovered thatvisitors love this extra step, the slower morerelaxing experience and the chance toencounter wine at a different level…plus,who doesn’t like to eat.”
Mayo Family Winery produces smallbatch, single vineyard wines sold exclusivelyfrom the tasting room. The Reserve Room islocated at 9200 Sonoma Highway inKenwood, Sonoma Valley. Reservations arerecommended and can be made by calling(707) 833-5504 or visitingmayofamilywinery.com/Reserve-Room.

A limited amount of$47 local Sonoma tickets for standing room only will be available inperson with locations announced soon. Special ticket packages,including three-day tickets and limo packages, will also be availablethrough the website.
The Sonoma Music Festival was born from the desire of BRCCEto change up its annual fall event formerly at B.R. Cohn Winery andmove it closer to town for a more community event. The new Fieldof Dreams location not only puts the concert goer two blocks from
Sonoma’s Plaza, it allows the festival the opportunity to grow andgenerate more proceeds for charity. This year’s beneficiaries includenational and local veterans organizations including Fisher Houseand American Legion Post 489, the Redwood Food Bank, Bread andRoses and others to be announced. Over its 28-year history BRCCEhas raised more than 6.5 million dollars for charity.
“This is a very impressive three-day line-up,” exclaimed BruceCohn. “Not only do we get to finally present a Beatle, but all ofthese great acts are a perfect fit for Sonoma and wine country. Comeup to stay, shop and enjoy this great music-filled fundraisingweekend.”
The Field of Dreams set-up, while different than the winery set-up, still allows in the BRCCE tradition, great sight lines and accessno more than 150 feet from the stage. With the newly added nighttime headliners, video and projection screens will make sure youdon’t miss a thing happening on stage. These are rain or shineshows.
Plans call for the best music, food and wine Sonoma has to offer.Many of the region’s finest purveyors are joining in, includingLagunitas Brewing, a pop-up HopMonk beer garden, high-end andpopular restaurants and, of course, some of the best wine inCalifornia including B.R. Cohn and many others. There will be noin and out privileges.

Coro Mendocino Celebrates 2012 Vintagewith Release Party in San Francisco, June 19
the iconic and Collaborative Label debuts its 2012 Collection of Wineswith a Multi-Course Winemaker dinner at dogpatch WineWorks in sF
Coro Mendocino, a collection of ultra-premium wines producedto showcase the rich heritage and unique characteristics ofMendocino County, will debut its 2012 vintage at their 12th AnnualRelease Party on Friday, June 19. This year, Coro Mendocino isexcited to announce that it has moved the annual event’s locationfrom Mendocino County to San Francisco, with the event this yeartaking place at Dogpatch WineWorks in the DogPatch District of SanFrancisco. The Coro Mendocino winemakers and local foodpersonality Liam Mayclem of KCBS’ Foodie Chap and KPIX 5 TV’sEye on The Bay will host the event, and Executive Chef BruceRiezenman will be preparing an elegant multi-course dinner designedto showcase the 2012 vintage.
“We are beyond excited to grow this annual event by hosting ourfirst-ever Release Party in San Francisco,” states Hoss Milone,Marketing Manager for Coro Mendocino and Winemaker at BrutocaoCellars. “While Mendocino has been a wonderful location for ourRelease Dinner for the past 11 years, in 2015 we are looking forwardto sharing the Coro story with a larger audience, outside the bordersof our beloved Mendocino County.”
The 2012 vintage marks the 12th release for Coro Mendocino,and includes wines from eight diverse Mendocino County vintners.The christened label and blend known as “Coro” – named andinspired from the Latin root for “chorus” (from many into one) – isthe first appellation-controlled blend in the United States.
Every Coro wine is a signature blend, individually handcrafted inMendocino County from 100 percent Mendocino County grapes, instrict accordance with the production protocols and bylaws set forthby Consortium Mendocino. Zinfandel, the county’s heritage varietal,must make up no more than 70 percent and no less than 40 percentof the wine. Nine other types of grapes may be included, typicallyRhone or Italian varietals.
All Coro Mendocino wines are aged a minimum of one year in thebarrel and one in the bottle before the world is permitted to tastethem. Even then, no one can sip until the winemakers in theConsortium have blind-tasted every wine and determined that thewine is worthy of the Coro label.
2015 marks the 12th vintage of the Coro Mendocino label,established in 2000 by a collection of liked-minded MendocinoCounty winemakers. Over the past fifteen years, twenty-one winerieshave participated in the Coro consortium. The reviews for previousyears have been effusive, calling the wines “smooth, lush, intense,”“sophisticated and fun,” and “rich, long and stylish.”
Of course, no two Coro wines are ever exactly alike. Oenophileswill have the opportunity to be the first to taste the 2012 vintage atthe official Coro Release Party on June 19, at Dogpatch WineWorks inSan Francisco. Each vintner will pour selections of their white, redand sparkling wines during the welcome reception (beginning at 6
p.m.) while guests nosh on bites and nibbles created by Park AvenueCatering. Following the opening reception, guests will be seated andenjoy a gourmet, four-course meal highlighting local Mendocinoproducts prepared by celebrated owner and Executive Chef at ParkAvenue Catering, Bruce Riezenman. Each course will be paired withmultiples wines from the 2012 vintage (full menu with pairings listedabove). Every table will host a different winemaker or a wineryrepresentative from a Coro winery to answer any questions guestsmight have about Coro and the wines being poured. The evening willconclude with a selection of beautifully handmade desserts and treats,including a Coro sorbet, paired with ports and dessert wines from theparticipating Coro wineries.
Wineries participating in Coro Mendocino’s 2012 Annual ReleaseParty include: Barra of Mendocino, Brutocao Cellars, Clos du Bois,Golden Vineyards, McFadden Vineyard, Parducci Wine Cellars, Ray’sStation and Testa Vineyards. As a parting gift, each couple will receivea complete collection of the eight 2012 Coro wines produced bythese labels to take home and enjoy (a value of $320).
Cost per couple to attend the Release Party is $700, and includesthe complete collection of 2012 Coro wines (a $350 value).
“The Coro wines have evolved over the last 12 years as full-bodied, fruit-forward products that stand out as complex anddifferent from standard varietal bottlings,” said Dennis Patton, afounding Coro winemaker. “In moving the dinner to San Francisco,we hope to introduce Coro wines to individuals who are not familiarwith the brand, and have them fall in love with our story and wines,just as our loyal and long-time fan base has.”

Terroir is the most important force increating distinct wines. The French wordspeaks to a wine’s place of origin, its subtlenuances of traceable character, flavor, lineageand integrity.
An estate wine from Carmel Valley,Jarman’s terroir refers to a special place – andalso to a special woman who inspired afamily to bottle the essence of a mother’sspirit.
Jarman Fearing Lowder grew up inChattanooga, Tenn., and lived up to beingvoted “best all around” in high school. Sheearned a nursing degree, worked as an R.N.and raised three daughters with her husbandThomas. An active volunteer, animal lover,athlete and enthusiastic traveler, Jarman
wanted to spend her golden years makingwine with her husband at Holman Ranch, anidyllic piece of property in Carmel Valleythey purchased to realize that dream.
Tragically, Jarman died in March of 2011at age 60 following a long battle with earlyonset Alzheimer’s disease.
To honor her mother’s memory, Holman Ranch manager and eldestdaughter Hunter Lowder has vowed to take the best hand-selected estate grapesand create two premium varietals – JarmanChardonnay and Jarman Pinot Noir ($1 from each bottle sold will go toAlzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation,www.alzdiscovery.org/about-addf.)
“We are thrilled to be working with
Holman Ranch. Having known JarmanLowder personally, I am so proud to belinked to a fine wine in her name,” saidHoward Fillit, MD, Founding ExecutiveDirector and Chief Science Officer, ADDFEvery dollar donated through ourpartnership will go directly to Alzheimer’sdrug research.
“We wanted to honor her, give back andincrease awareness,” Hunter said.“Everything we do here and the reason allthis exists is because of her.”
The Jarman label will reflect quality, withonly the best local grapes used during aartisanal, small-batch winemaking process.Jarman wine uses only 100 percent estate-grown, organic and certified-sustainablegrapes. Aged in French oak barrels, Jarman’svintages are held in limited supply, and notavailable anywhere outside the tasting room.The two varietals include:• The 2013 Jarman Pinot Noir takes onnuances of warm blueberry pie, cloves andcinnamon that mingle in the nose with oaknotes from 10 months in the barrel. Themouth-feel is plump and juicy withovertones of cassis and blackberries.
• The 2014 Jarman Chardonnay featuresfloral notes reminiscent of walking by aparfumerie in France — subtle andpleasant with a hint of earthiness. Whenserving this wine lightly chilled, rich notesof under-ripe berries and raw honey willwaltz across your palate.The new Jarman tasting room is located at
16 W. Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley andoffers three unique experiences: Cru Tasting,Premier Cru Experience and the Grand CruExperience. The tastings will feature full-fledged experiences, including tours andwine education, and each will include a foodelement that complements the wine. Thetasting room is open noon to 5 p.m.,Thursday through Sunday.
To celebrate, Jarman will hold a publicgrand opening on Tuesday, June 23, from 5to 7 p.m.
