| Wine List: | Esterlina Vineyards & California Winery, USA |
| 2002 | Esterlina 2002 Cole Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon (Cabernet Sauvignon) This is yet another in a long line of excellent wines from our family’s Cole Ranch appellation-vineyard. This Cabernet is a beautiful burgundy color with toasty oak, vanilla, and black fruit aromas. Flavors of juicy cherry and currant are framed by oak, medium tannins, and good acidity. The wine will be splendid with age but it drinks very well today. 2002 Cole Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon - $20.00 |
| 2004 | Esterlina 2004 Cole Ranch Merlot (Merlot) All the wines we made from the 2004 vintage are extraordinary. The color is gorgeous—a rich garnet. There are lots of black fruit aromas, with plum, clove and a bit of smoky oak, too. The flavors are ripe, rich and complex, with black cherry, blackberry, and cocoa. With firm tannins, good acidity, and a lingering finish, this wine will appeal to most red wine lovers. We produced 923 cases of this gem. Try it with lamb, prime rib, and beef short ribs.

| 2004 | Esterlina 2004 Russian River (Bacigalupi Vineyard) Zinfandel (Zinfandel) This is the third Zinfandel we’ve made from the Bacigalupi Vineyard, and, as usual we are very happy with it. This wine starts with rich aromas of plum, coffee, and chocolate, with an underlying hint of baking spice. The mouth is elegant and balanced, with plenty of ripe plum, blackberry, cocoa and vanilla-oak flavors. Enjoy. 780 cases 04 Russian River Zinfandel (Bacigalupi Vineyard) |
| 2005 | Esterlina 2005 (Sonoma Mountain, Janian Vineyard) Syrah (Syrah) The third vintage of wine we have released from this vineyard, it is a classic, cool weather Syrah--think northern Rhone, rather than California. It starts with plum, blueberry and smoky, cigar box aromas. The mouth has wonderful flavors of ripe dark berries and pepper, with silky tannins and good acidity. The finish is great, too. Enjoy. 2005 Esterlina Syrah Sonoma Mountain(Janian Vineyard) 228 Cases |
| 2005 | Esterlina 2005 Chardonnay Russian River Valley (Chardonnay) Esterlina’s Chardonnays have typically been a combination of fruit, a bit of oak and great acidity. This vintage is similar. Lots of green and citrus aromas, including pineapple and lemon on the nose, with a hint of spice. The mouth starts with lots of apple and pineapple, but there is a bit of oak and there is a slight nutty flavor, too. The wine ends with a terrific finish. Try this wine with chicken alfredo, pan-seared halibut, or shrimp in a garlic cream. 2007 Gold Medal Wine SF Cronicle Wine Competition Esterlina 2005 Russian River Chardonnay |
| 2005 | Esterlina Estate 2005 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir (Pinot Noir) This is classic Esterlina Estate Pinot Noir, with intense, concentrated flavors, ripe fruit, and excellent acidity. In short, a great, balanced wine. The 2005 AV Pinot starts with earthy, red fruit and sweet-oak aromas. The mouth has wonderful flavors of ripe and juicy raspberries and red cherries, spiced cranberry and a bit of mushroom, with the classic acidity always present in our Estate pinot. The finish is great, too. Not as large a bottling as we usually get from our Estate, but the quality is present. Enjoy. 2005 Estate Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley, Esterlina Estate) 670 cases |
| 2006 | 2006 Cole Ranch Riesling (Riesling) Our 2006 Riesling has got it all--excellent acidity, and ripe, complex fruit flavors. It begins with lots of apple and citrus aromas, including pineapple and lemon. The mouth starts with that typical Cole Ranch acidity, but there is plenty of ripe fruit. Really a sweet-tart thing going on. The experience ends with a terrific finish. Try this wine with spicy foods, desserts and on the patio. 650 cases.. |
| 2006 | Esterlina 2006 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc) Our 2006 Sauvignon Blanc is full of bright citrus flavors—plenty of grapefruit, lime and lemon. With 100% stainless steel fermentation, it is a very refreshing, enjoyable bottle of wine. Pair it with lemon chicken pasta, spicy foods, or just quaff it.
