Dear Wine Lover,

 

Bob Foley (winemaker for Pride Mountain, Switchback, Hourglass, and Paloma) has produced another hit with the wines he is making for School House Vineyards. Just wish we could get more.

 

2002 School House Spring Mtn. District Napa Pinot Noir $77.89 12 bottles available
1500-foot elevation and expresses its personality in remarkable concentration and complexity. The finest Burgundian French oak barrels are selected for aging and elevating the Pinot Noir over the course of approximately 18 months. Exuberant aromas and flavors of ripe berries and peppermint explode from a deliciously delicate yet expansive viscosity on the palate.  A most versatile and food friendly varietal, School House Pinot Noir is a perfect complement to the richest meats and poultry and duck and marries beautifully with reduction sauces. 199 cases were produced.

 

2003 School House Spring Mtn. District Napa Chardonnay $34.89 6 bottles available
Crisp and lively, we balance our mountain-grown Chardonnay in a delicate style made possible by our cooler microclimate on the slopes of Spring Mountain. Seasoned French oak barrels are used for fermentation and aging which avoid notable oakiness, but impart subtle vanilla nuances, complementary to the floral, citrus blossom personality of the Spring Mountain Chardonnay clone. 100% malolactic fermentation helps to tame the high natural acidity, providing stability which allows us to avoid the steps of fining and filtration. The resulting haut-chablis style Chardonnay is a perfect match for a wide variety of delicately flavored dishes. 69 cases were produced.

 

2002 School House Mescolanza Spring Mtn. District Napa Field Blend $34.89 24 bottles available

The venerable field-blend of red varieties, the personality of Mescolanza is bred largely from the Carignane, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah varieties. Wildly spicy in its aroma, a pleasantly rich mouthful of wine bursts with ripe cherry and berry flavors. The use of older seasoned barrels provides an ever so subtle kiss of oak and the natural grape acidity provides vibrancy to the bouquet and length to the mouth-watering finish. 119 cases were produced.

 

We also have limited quantities of School House’s previous vintage made by Bob Foley.
