Our Wines

2005 Wines

The 2005 vintage was one of nature’s lucky breaks, with excellent quality and higher-than-normal yields. The wet winter of ’04–’05 gave the grapevines ample groundwater, and a warm period in March got the vines off to an early May flowering. The summer was uniformly sunny but relatively cool, and harvest began (relatively late for us) in the 3rd week of September, giving the grapes nearly a month longer than normal on the vine. The resulting wines, both red and white were intensely mineral, with good structure and powerful aromatics. Red wines have big but ripe tannins that reward cellaring.

Here, we think 2012 made our best Vermentino yet, perfect for the summer's fresh meals. Details »

On the Blog: The Pleasure of Discovered Bottles

June 17, 2013

By Robert Haas. Sometimes even forgotten bottles of white wines turn out to be a revelation.  Such was the case  at a gathering with friends Mel and Ynez Kaplan at their house in Charlotte, VT last Saturday.  Mel Kaplan brought out a couple of bottles of Tablas Creek Clos Blanc 2000.  He asked whether I thought that it would still be good.  Mel has an underground cellar there so I said,  “Let’s give it a try.”
