You Always Remember Your First

Who’d have thought Peter Wellington would look so great in a tux?

Well, look who decided to come back. It’s been a while, Mr. Peter Wellington 2006 Victory Reserve 2 Pack, hasn’t it? What brings you back around these parts again? Nothing to say, huh? It’s just as well. A complex wine like you doesn’t really need a reason, I suppose. So what can I get you? Steak, maybe? Some fine cheeses? With all your different layers of flavor, I guess anything on the menu will do brilliantly, won’t it? Tell you what, you just your smooth, supple self sit down and relax while I make you up something special for the occasion.

My, that is an enchanting aroma you have this evening. It seems to change with every sniff! Is that cherry, raspberry, cola, and mint I smell? Maybe it’s pepper, cedar, dark chocolate, and violets? Oh, it doesn’t matter. Your mouth-watering acidity, lingering fruit flavors, and firm, slightly chewy finish that’s never harsh are all I care about. It’s been far too long since the last time you came along, my dear.

Shhh. Let’s not spoil this moment with any more words. We both know you won’t be here long. You’ll end up in another cellar for several years or decanted somewhere far from here. Let’s just enjoy this time we have together. Come here and let me wrap my arms around you, you double dose of fermented wonderment.

Vendor Details

Wellington Vineyards

Founded:
1986
Owners:
Peter Wellington
Location:
Glen Ellen, CA
Wellington Vineyards is owned by the father and son team of John and Peter Wellington. 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.
