2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County

2011 Zinfandel, Meek's Hilltop Ranch, Sonoma Valley

George and Abby Meeks purchased the historic Hilltop Ranch twenty years ago. The ranch had been the site of a pre-Prohibition winery, and still had a small block of ancient vines (a field blend) and a block of Chardonnay that was planted in the 1960’s.

Medium red with a slight purple tint. The aroma is very forward; lots of berry- raspberry, strawberry, blackberry. It's somewhat reminiscent of chocolate covered cherries. There is great complexity, with notes of briar, caramel, spice and a hint of juniper. On the palate it is quite elegant for a Zinfandel, i.e. NOT a heavy, sweet, oaky blockbuster. Medium body, very fruity (but not sweet), smooth tannins and a bit of heat on the finish. It's drinking beautifully now, and I think there's not a lot of aging potential. Best within the next year plus.

2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County

Good intensity of Bing cherry like fruit with blackberry, licorice, violets, vanilla and hints of leather and spice. Medium body, smooth, dry with medium tannins. Aging potential is another three to five years.

2011 Syrah, England Crest, Sonoma Valley

Classic Syrah aromas of black fruit, bacon, and allspice with floral and gamy notes. Hints of coffee, black pepper and grilled meats. Full, fleshy entry, rich viscous mouthfeel, slightly chewy tannin with a slightly tart, dry finish.

Vendor Details

Wellington Vineyards

Founded:: 1986
Owner:: Peter Wellington
Location:: Glen Ellen, CA

Wellington Vineyards is owned Peter Wellington. Peter's father John purchased the winery site in 1986. At the time, it consisted of 20 acres of old vines and a few decrepit old fruit and nut trees. Replanting of part of the old vineyard and orchard started in 1988. The winery was completed in time for the 1989 crush. We grow approximately half the grapes we use and purchase the remainder, primarily from small, unique vineyards.

The estate vineyards consist of 21 acres, 8 of which are 85 to 117 years old. There are 24 different varieties in the old vineyard, with the most common being Zinfandel, Carignan, Alicante Bouschet, Grenache and Syrah. In addition, there are 10 acres of eleven to sixteen year old vines that consist of Merlot, Chardonnay, Marsanne, and Syrah. We grow more Merlot than anything else. Three more acres were replanted in 2001, predominantly to Syrah, Zinfandel and Grenache.
