2012 Napa Valley Yountville Sauvignon Blanc
Block House Vineyard
Block House Vineyards, the oldest vineyards in Napa Valley, were planted by Mountain Man, George C. Yount, in 1836,
just after receiving the Rancho Caymus land grant from General Vallejo. The Block House name is derived from Yount’s
first Kentucky-style defensive fortification west of the Mississippi.

The Yountville AVA has the most unique geomorphic combination of soils in
the Napa Valley, comprised of both sedimentary and alluvial soils
interspersed with sandy and gravelly loam, plus some clay. These soils and
the mild temperatures allow the grapes to develop their unusual
characteristics and expression of the terroir. The nine acres of Block 28
devoted to Sauvignon Blanc are set in a sandy loam soil yielding the greatest
expression of this exquisite varietal.
Our Sauvignon Blanc offers not only the classic Napa varietal flavors, but
promises hints of lemongrass, guava, and passion fruit, with a touch of
grapefruit.

We especially like the description offered by Rebecca Murphy of the Dallas
Morning news: Greg Gauthier “…shows a fine winemaking touch with this
ethereal Riesling. It has seductive honeysuckle and lemon blossom aromas
to lure you into the glass, where delicate green apple, pear and pineapple
flavors are vitalized by lively acidity. It’s a versatile wine that will pair well
with a ginger spiced stir-fry or a baked white meat fish.”
Planted in the early 1970s by Robert Mondavi, the Hillside Vineyard slopes gently toward the Salinas Valley and
affords a majestic vista of the Sierra de Salinas mountain range. The ancient alluvial soils and long growing season of
the Santa Lucia Highlands allow the grapes to develop to their fullest varietal potential.

2012 Napa Valley-Carneros Pinot Noir
Richmond Vineyards
The Richmond Vineyard, a three-acre gem in Napa Carneros, is located a quarter of a mile from San Francisco Bay
and lies almost hidden among some of the most celebrated vineyards of the region. The proprietor, Mike Richmond,
has been a pioneer in the Carneros since the 70s and his life-long commitment to the development and quality of
Pinot Noir has made him a legend in the world of wine. I’m proud to call Mike my mentor and my friend. Working
with this exceptional vineyard has strengthened our partnership, our bond of friendship and enhanced the Gauthier
Select Vineyards wine collection.

A silky, smooth wine that embodies flavors of ripe cranberry,
raspberry and a touch of tangerine hiding in the center. These
flavors confirm this wine as a “signature” of the Carneros.
Please enjoy it as an extension of the expression “In wine there
is friendship.”

2010 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Rockin’ H Vineyard
The brilliant garnet jewel color of the Pinot offers a visual
statement of the depths of its flavors. It brims with roses and
allspice, smoked cherry and baked cranberry, and a beautiful
integrated ribbon of toffee and caramel. Try this Pinot with the
always delicious roasted pork tenderloin medallions, spice grilled
chicken breast, or salmon seared with freshly ground black
pepper. Be adventurous and discover your own favorite pairing.
Above all, enjoy this wine!

Our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir comes from the Rockin’ H Ranch, where the Petaluma River gently winds between the
San Pablo Bay and the Pacific Ocean. This location, with cool, foggy, marine-influenced nights and long summer
days, is exceptionally suited to growing Pinot Noir that exhibits fruit and spice flavors, acidity and texture in perfect
balance and harmony.

2011 Sonoma Valley Zinfandel
Los Chamizal Vineyard
The hills beyond the historic town of Sonoma embrace a small valley called Chamizal where grape vines are planted
on terraces carved from the rocky slopes. It was here, in 1974, that Peter Haywood began planting vineyards
that he named Los Chamizal, Spanish for the thickets of hardwood that covered the land. The soils range from
well drained sandy clay loam at lower elevations to thin fractured basalt soils at higher elevations. The
vineyards have a modestly

Our classic, traditional Zinfandel offers balanced flavors of bramble
berry, cherry pie and licorice, with the spiciness of clove and white
pepper.

preserving slightly higher acidity levels in the grapes. Los Chamizal is a
sustainable vineyard, using permanent crop cover, compost and organic
fertilizers to nuture the soil.
