As you know, Kiser Vineyard is one of the crown jewels in our portfolio of vineyards, with Pinot Noir worthy of this journey. We harvested this fruit in 2017—a full six weeks before our red wine harvest in order to capture the vervey freshness required for great sparkling wine. It is a blend of both the upper and lower sections of the vineyard.
Nine-year-old Remy and her dad, Noah, owner and winemaker at Reeve Wines, together have made a few cases of a mouthwatering white blend called Remy Saves the Sea. Remy expressed interested in learning the ropes of how wine is made, and is also an aspiring surfer and lover of animals. Per her idea—for each bottle of wine sold—$5 will be donated to support ocean clean up. And for those of you who were fans of our sold-out 2019 Vermentino, this wine is 96% of the same Dry Creek Valley Vermentino and 4% Prism Riesling. The wine fermented in concrete eggs and the extra time in bottle has expanded its textural presence.
A bright, effusive, dry Riesling from the "deep-end" of Anderson Valley. This may well be one of our more versatile wines but we absolutely love it with Thai and Vietnamese food. Crisp apple, poached Anjou pear, and a lemon streak all make an appearance here.
This vineyard was planted for us in conjunction with Cobb and LaRue Wines in 2014 by Ted Klopp and his daughter Lauren. It yielded its first vintage in 2017 but really began to shine in 2018. We are thrilled with this vineyard site just outside of Sebastopol on Baker Lane. The vineyard is planted to four different clones and has at least as many variations of Goldridge soil compositions. We love what this vineyard has shown in its first few vintages—namely an incredible depth of flavor in a very focused and bright package.
Rhoda is our tribute to the deep-end of Anderson Valley, where it is possible to make profound wines of depth, elegance and tension. The name Rhoda comes from the namesakes of Anderson Valley, Walter and Rhoda Anderson, who came out to California from Missouri during the Gold Rush.
