At Domaine Serene, we've always maintained that great wines begin with great vineyards. This was particularly true of 2007 vintage, where a myriad of weather conditions and temperature changes made for a very challenging harveSaint Yes, it rained, but as fastidious as Pinot Noir may be, a little rain is not a bad thing, especially in dry-farmed vineyards. Most importantly is to have strong, proactive vineyard practices and a sound, diligent winemaking team that maintains a level head and does not panic and pick early. 2007 was a cool, wet vintage and will answer all requests for lower alcohols. The Wine Advocate rating: 91.

2008 will therefore long be remembered as a particularly difficult vintage (a very big threat of disease even greater than in 2007). There was also permanent rain, though actual rainfall was light to extent that year is classed as a dry one. This year, once again, careful canopy management (de-budding, precision de-leafing and crop thinning) was crucial in order to keep vines healthy. The Wine Advocate rating: 89.

... Read more
This wine is from Italy, Veneto region, Valpolicella sub-region. Amarone is considered one of the most important and prestigious red wines of Northern Italy. The art of first drying the grapes in a process known as appassimento, combined with careful bottling under the watchful eye of San Giuseppe Estate winemakers, makes Amarone Classico della Valpolicella a wine of extraordinary class and structure. This dry, full-bodied red pairs well with game, grilled and braised meats and bold cheeses.. The process begins with the very finest grapes, Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, from the Veneto region of Italy in the Negrar hills that surround the city of Verona. Only the outside clusters of grapes, or recioto, that soak up the most sun and are the richest tasting are selected to create San Giuseppe Amarone Classico. CORVINA Wine Italian Still Wine

2008 was another drought year in Napa Valley, making vines relatively less vigorous with smaller berries. Bud break in Artesa's Carneros vineyard occurred usual time -- from mid to late March -- but a severe frost limited crop size even further. vineyard team worked hard through season to ensure even ripeness among berries. A long heat spell first week of September signaled beginning of harvest, however temperature soon dropped drastically and weather stayed cool and dry for rest of month. Our estate Pinot Noir grapes were hand harvested in September at full maturity. Heady aromas of raspberry, cherry and wild strawberry jump from glass, tinged with notes of anise and coriander. Pure and vibrant, wine delivers sweet red cherry and berry flavors that pick up spicy notes of clove and cinnamon and a hint of toffee on finish. Fruit concentration, bright acidity and velvety tannins are hallmarks of this estate-grown Pinot Noir. Wine Spectator rating: 90.

overall judgement on 2006 vintage is very positive, in particular for quality level of grapes brought in. Spring was characterised by temperate conditions, scarce rains, and lack of heat stress, all of which favored sound, healthy fruit. Light rains during summer helped maintain groundwater reserves for vines. August was not excessively hot, with result that ripeness in various sections of grape (pulp, skin, pip) developed evenly and with good balance. September and October brought sunny days, dry and crisp, which were desired conditions for producing all of qualities necessary to making of high-quality, firmly-structured wines. Luce Brunello appears ruby red with garnet highlights. Fragrances of wild berry fruit, such as blueberry and redcurrant, predominate on nose; crisp notes of citrus follow, succeeded in turn by spicier impressions of forest underbrush, tobacco leaf, pencil lead, and black pepper, all lifted by intriguing nuances of star anice and China Calass The Wine Advocate r

This wine is from Italy. Quintarelli's 1997 Amarone is seductive from the first aromas that float from the glass. It offers a myriad of dried cherries, plums, tea leaves, earthiness, spices, smoke and herbs in a deceptively medium-bodied style bursting with flavor. Constantly changing in the glass, this is a sensual wine of contrasts; it is sweet yet dry, rustic yet incredibly elegant, all at the same time. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017. Rated 94 points. -Wine Advocate CORVINA Wine ITALIAN STILL WINE

But grapes were picked in perfect health and exceptional depth of color and tannin structure significantly more so than for 2007s. tannins are magnificently ripe and sweet and are buried in opulently ripe fruit. wines have tremendous depth, power, and richness, with aromas and flavors of violets, black-berry, cassis and cherry fruits, espresso, and spices. wines finish with great length and lingering, mouth-coating flavors. All of these elements (and more) and framed in a very balanced, elegant, supple package, which is hallmark of Autard house style. Cuvee La Cote Ronde (50% each Grenache and Syrah) highlights unique terrior of its origins in stony soils on plain between Chateauneuf du Pape and Courthezon.
