Dear Wine Lover,

Great tasting... Fantastic pricing!!!

With the winery releasing their 2006 vintage, we scooped up the remaining cases of 2005 on a closeout.

2005 Eric Ross Struttin’ Red 48% Carignane 26% Cabernet  26% Petite Sirah Sale $13.99 Was $20

Wow! What a chewy mouthful of fruit! This red is a blend of old vine Carignan, Petit Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Pours a deep dark purple-red, and gives aromas of dark stone fruit and earthy spice. The palate is chewy, with loads of jammy fruit and a hint of smoky vanilla oak on the finish.

2005 Eric Ross Rauser Ranch Lodi Old Vine Carignane Sale $15.99 Was $22

A smooth rich wine, similar to a Syrah in smell with wonderful fruit that carries through the palate. Blueberries and ripe fruit in the nose and a softness in the mouth that lends itself to many types of food. Grapes for this wine come from a vineyard located in Lodi. Rauser Ranch is a 9 acre vineyard that sits next to the Mokolumme River that lends cooling to the vines that date back to their original planting in 1907.

2005 Eric Ross Catie’s Corner Vineyard Russian River Valley Syrah Sale $19.99 Was $30

2005 was the first year we made Syrah. Eric love's making new varietals, and Syrah seemed to be a unique challenge. We wanted to make an elegant wine that defined our style. As it turns out we used two grapes to make one wine. During harvest, Joannie, the growers rep from Saralee's Vineyard called to offer us some extra Viognier. We jumped at the chance! Most of the Viognier was made into a luscious white wine, and a tiny bit was added to our Syrah during fermentation. This co-fermentation technique produced a wine with beautiful fruit in the nose and an elegance in the mouth rarely matched in red wine.

2005 Eric Ross Poule d' Or Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Sale $19.99 Was $40
The Poule d' Or is a blend comprised of the different barrels from his 2005 vintage. Our 2006 Russian River Valley Poule d' Or Pinot Noir has a smokey nose with hints of sweet toasty French oak, as well as notes of cola and roast coffee. The mouth has a nice complexity and flavors of Bing cherry and rhubarb with mouth coating tannins, and a full rich lingering finish.
2005 Eric Ross Feeney Ranch Russian River Valley Old Vine Zinfandel Sale $23.99 Was $30
The 2005 Old Vine, Feeney Ranch Zinfandel, has a nose of fresh tobacco, cedar, blackberry, and chocolate, with well integrated tannins. Sweet oak, dark fruit, create a wine with soft and balanced flavors in the mouth.

 2005 Eric Ross Saralee’s Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Sale $34.89 Was $40

The 2005 Russian River Pinot Noir from the Saralee Vineyard was grown in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Filled with black cherry and plum with subtle French oak in the background. The mouth has a nice complexity with silky smooth tannins and a soft long finish. The grapes for this Pinot came from Saralee's Vineyard in the Russian River Valley near Forestville. Low yields and a long cool growing season, produced grapes with great complexity and finesse.

The 2005 Russian River Valley Chardonnay is a medium bodied wine from a very cool vineyard a few miles from the Pacific Ocean. You'll encounter a nose of apples and a note of French Oak. In the mouth you'll discover a touch of butterscotch and crisp acidity in the finish. This choice is perfect to accompany any type of shell fish or light pasta or chicken dish.
