Wineries sourcing from this vineyardReviewed wines produced from this vineyard2005 Fiddlehead Cellars Sweetie Late Harvest Wine 11.7% alc., 287 cases, 1/2 bottles ("little fiddle screwys"), $25. Sauvignon Blanc with a hint of Muscat Blanc. 50% of the grapes are dehydrated on the vine with extended hang time (35º Brix) and 50% are dried in trays to concentrate the pure fruit fragrance. The wine is fermented cold, non-malolactic, with 14% residual sugar. Sweetie is a labor of love named after Kathy's husband and sweetie, Tom Doyle. · A delicious dessert wine combined flavors of tropical fruits, caramel, and vanilla. Sweet, but not cloying. Perfectly fine on its own served ice cold or pour it over vanilla bean ice cream topped with fresh pineapple and caramel syrup - a wine-food match that brings you to your knees.

2004 Vino V Wines Confundido Santa Barbara County Red Wine 14.5% alc., 50 cases. A blend of Grenache (50%) from Vogelzang Vineyard, Pinot Noir (25%) from Clos Pepe Vineyard, and Syrah (25%) from White Hawk Vineyard. · I don't have any reference point for this unusual blend but I can say it is well crafted. A little good barnyard shows up in the nose. Less fat on the palate than the other two 2004 vintage wines from Vino V. Finishes nicely with zingy fruit. Decent. Reviewed September 5, 2006 WINERY »

2001 Fiddlehead Cellars Honeysuckle Santa Ynez Valley Sauvignon Blanc 14.0% alc., 500 cases, $32. This wine reflects Kathy's love of Bordeaux-style white wines. A rich and creamy wine reflecting aging in 100% new tight grain Sequin Moreau and Damy barrels for 8 months. Whole cluster pressed, non-malolactic. Clone 1 and Musque clone from Vogelzang Vineyard are co-fermented in each oak cask. · A layered and complex Sauvignon Blanc which features appealing flavors of honey, roasted nuts, spice, citrus and vanilla pudding. A harmonious wine that is a blanc lover's feast. Reviewed September 26, 2006 WINERY »
