Cuvaison Winery, Company

A tremendous year for Pinot Noir in Carneros, La Nina conditions set up a long cool growing season with just a few bumps on the way. Our 2010 Pinot Noir possesses vibrant notes of cherry, raspberry, and pomengranate with hints of allspice and sassafras. On the palate the wine is quite dense with...

"Lime zest, nutmeg and quince on the nose give way to bright nectarine, honeysuckle and tangerine fruit on the palate of this plush and silky chardonnay. The coolest vintage in 20 years our 2010 Chardonnay captures the minerality, tang and verve of the vintage yet rounds out the fruit with spice,...

A packed and sinewy wine, the S Block offers up a heady mix of spice and flowers, linden and...

This is a lovely Cab from our Mt Veeder Estate, a blend of the five classic Bordeaux varieties; 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Malbec, 5% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. The fruit was harvested mid to late October under a mild "Indian summer" which helped bring the grapes to full...

In 2010 the conditions in our Sauvignon Blanc vineyard were just right for the development of Noble Rot, a natural mold that winemakers normally refer to as Botrytis. Usually this is viewed as an unwanted event and we do our best to prevent and control the spread of Botrytis that can occur in cool,...

"A temperate season for Cabernet Sauvignons, the 2009 is rife with dark black cherry and blackberry fruit paired with sweet hints of sandalwood, persimmon, fig and cola. On the palate, the wine offers currant and boysenberry fruit with notes of mocha coffee and black tea. This year's blend is 82%...
