Tasting Notes:

Our Sauvignon Blanc is a unique expression of the vineyard. The nose opens with tingly citrus and floral notes, and the pallet is light and crisp showcasing creamy lemon with a wonderful counterpoint of acidity. The wine closes with a delicate hint of oak to balance the snappy acidity. A lively and unique wine; the perfect complement for a spring day. $22.00

"Editors' Pick" – Wine Enthusiast

Sold Out - 2012 Vintage Coming Soon!

Tasting Notes:

The wine opens with a nose full of cream and bananas highlighted by notes of lime and citrus. The pallet is elegant and full-bodied with wonderful harmony struck between the acidity and sugars, and the finish is smooth and lingering with a slightly sweet tone. Riesling is perhaps the most versatile wine in the world and can be made in dozens of different styles, and our first harvest of Riesling provided a great learning opportunity. The quality of fruit from our young estate vineyard surpassed our expectations and we look forward to many vintages of this delicious wine. $20.00

Tasting Notes:

This unique Rosé showcases the full bodied flavors of a red wine while maintaining the delicate floral components of a blush. The nose opens with wonderful cherry and rose petal notes painted over an earthy background. The pallet begins with bright zing of acidity complemented by a full bodied intensity that envelope the mouth. The finish is clean and brisk leaving the taster wanting another sip of this delicate wine. $20.00

Tasting Notes:

Our Mountain Cuvée blend changes with each vintage to fully capture the vineyard at its peak, and 2009 was no exception. Predominantly zinfandel with a dash of petite sirah, this wine opens with a wonderful nose of clove and spice balanced with an expressive signature of American oak. The pallet begins with bright red fruit and raspberry notes followed by a burly combination of chocolate and toast. The finish is smooth with a light tannic note that ensures a lingering presence on the palate. $24.00

Tasting Notes:

This 2009 Heritage Tree offering is a classic example of Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel. The nose opens with a spicy display of cinnamon and lush red fruit. The pallet begins with a combination of dark red fruit complemented by notes of clove and all spice. The finish is lengthy with a solid tannic core that hints at this wine's aging potential. $32.00

Tasting Notes:

Made in the lineage of our stellar 2007 Estate Syrah, this wine opens with a nose of violets and sun ripened blueberry painted over a background of leather and nuanced spice. The mid-palate is supple and well structured, with a juiciness that envelopes the mouth yet remains delightfully soft. The finish is long, with well-developed tannins that ensure this wine will cellar for years to come. $32.00

Tasting Notes:

Rich, deep purple in the glass, with aromas of lavender and dark fruit balanced by meaty, earthy undertones. This wine bucks the stereotype of Petite Sirah being all finish and no flavor, and really begins to shine after an hour of decanting, revealing luscious aromas of fruit, cocoa, tobacco and a hint of molasses. The finish is strong but not abrupt, giving you the desired “oomph” of a Petite Sirah without being dry or abrasive. A truly delicious wine that will only get better with time. $28.00

Tasting Notes:

This unique blend reflects the terrior of our vineyard. The nose displays an elegant floral bouquet and the pallet opens with raspberry and cherry highlighted by notes of clove and spice. The finish is smooth displaying medium bodied soft tannins. A food friendly wine, our Zinfandel pairs well with tomato based foods and barbeque. $18.00

Tasting Notes:

The nose opens with classic Syrah qualities of plush dark fruit tempered with hints of leather. The pallet is full bodied and displays blueberry and chocolate with a complement of round oak and hints of vanilla. The lengthy finish exhibits balanced tannins that will allow this wine to age gracefully for years to come. A truly "hand crafted" wine. $32.00

Tasting Notes:

As is characteristic of many wines from this vintage, our Petite Sirah has developed an unusual smoky quality on the nose. Although not unpleasant this smokiness masks the layers of oak and fruit usually exhibited by our petites. The pallet shows dark fruit and a full bodied and tannic finish which should age well. A very unique wine. $14.00

92 POINTS – Wine Enthusiast

Tasting Notes:

This highly acclaimed Zinfandel is elegant, briary and alluring, with sweet oak, subtle yet defined tannins and an extra long finish. This wine stands up to full bodied meat dishes and rich tomato-based pastas, and pairs exceptionally well with chocolate. The 2007 Zinfandel is perhaps our finest effort from Gustafson Family Vineyards, a true embodiment of the style & quality we strive to consistently produce.

Wine Enthusiast Rating:

"Dry, soft and a little hot, it shows massive blackberry tart, black cherry pie, blueberry jam, chocolate, anise, pepper and Indian spice flavors. Almost Port-like, but never loses essential control, and a fine example of Dry Creek." – W.E. (9/1/10) 92 Points. $36.00

Wine Enthusiast Rating:

"This rich, fruity Cabernet comes from one of the higher mountain regions in Dry Creek Valley. It's enormously concentrated in blackberry, black currant and oak flavors, with the briary, peppery note so often found in Dry Creek reds. Good, if a little rustic. Give it three or four years..." - W.E. (9/1/2010) 90 Points. $45.00
