Cold and wet, wet, wet. Thank God.
Historic Fine Gold Creek is a raging
torrent and even our own seasonal rivulet in
front of the winery is running broadly.
The breath taking colors of last November
have fallen to the ground to return their
nutrients to the soil in
our no-till Fait Accompli Vineyard.
Skeletal cane silhouettes still
reaching skyward will soon join the
precipitated foliage as we begin to
pre-prune each vine according to its
stature. This special vineyard has been
very good to us and we must always return the
favor.
Our 2009 harvest was textbook for which,
coming off the severe frost damage of 2008,
we are truly thankful.
We are also thankful for the continuum of
new and old friends we have enjoyed over
the past twelve years.

New Wine Old
Label
 In 1978 we introduced the
first Farview Farm Vineyard wine, a crisp and
totally dry Blanc de Noir pressed from
Zinfandel grapesgrown in Templeton,
California. Yes, thirty years ago a
serious dry white Zinfandel.
For 2010 we are reprising the
original Farview Farm Vineyard label to showcase
our newest wine creation, 2009 Point Blanc, a
white Rhone style blend.
Point Blanc was co-fermented in European oak barrels
using the excellent Marsanne, Roussanne,
Viognier and Grenache Noir from the
ten year old Love Ranch located in
the Coarsegold, California foothills.
It readily displays expressions of spice, wet
stones and a herbal perfume with bright
lingering flavors and a slightly brazen
countenance.
Farview Farm Vineyard Point
Blanc is scheduled for a May, 01, 2010 release
and only 96 six-bottle cases will
be available.
Pre-Release price is $90 per
six-pack before May 1
and $120
thereafter.
