Spring mailer is out. Couple interesting items. The 10 and 11 Old Vines Sauvignon Blanc will get released on the SVD Chardonnay mailer late this spring. This is supposedly one of the oldest SB vineyards in not only Sonoma but all of CA. Additionally, Rochioli will be releasing a sparkling wine with fruit from Riverblock Vyd. either late this year or early 2013. Can’t wait to try that wine. Spring mailer is the Chard, SB, and Estate Pinot Noir per usual.
Glad to see the return of the Old Vine SB. They used to bottle a separate Old Vines SB in the mid-nineties that was really complex and nuanced. I still have 1 bottle left of the 1997 that needs to be popped.
