Star Lane Wines
Stainless steel lots bring vivid aromas of wild spring flowers, gooseberries and mandarin orange, while the wood lots contribute the rich lemon curd and grapefruit aromas that have been the hallmark of Star Lane Sauvignon Blanc.
Complex but not complicated, supple yet structured; the 2005 Star Lane Cabernet is a wine that is intellectual as well as very sensual. Aromas of blackberry laced with the notes of sage brush and chaparral that have become the hallmark of our vineyard precede tiers of currant, wild blackberry and savory herbs.
The 2005 Star Lane Astral Cabernet Sauvignon shows immense concentration, with huge, lush tannins that frame tightly layered cassis, blackberry, plum, coffee, chocolate, spice, vanilla and smoke flavors. Sporting a suppleness that belies its youth, the wine is drinking beautifully now. But we suspect it will offer collectors many years of pleasure to come.
Dierberg Wines
Deep mango, grapefruit and lemon grass aromas balanced with fresh lemon peel notes and a creamy hazelnut impression. On the palate the wine is all citrus: lemon rind, lemon curd and lemon blossoms .With strong acidity and a tightly wound structure, the '05 Dierberg Vineyard Chardonnay drinks deliciously now.
Dark raspberry and wild blackberry notes are accented by the characteristic "sauvage" note of our special terroir. Flavors lean towards the fresh raspberry end of the spectrum, with sexy mocha and complex forest floor nuances.
Nearly opaque in color, with maroon highlights, it is very impressive in the glass. Aromas of grilled meat, blackberry, black cherry, smoke, espresso and lavender are complemented by similar, very rich flavors. The wine is enormous in the mouth—an “Adult Portion” as we like to say—but it retains a sense of elegance, grace and vibrancy that is uncommon for such Syrahs.
2005 “Steven” bottling shows an alluring crimson color bleeding to near opaque purple at the core—a sign that this is a very concentrated wine. Aromas focusing on the dark fruit spectrum of Pinot Noir feature plum and black cherry accented by a beguiling “sauvage” note. It is on the palate that the ’05 “Steven” really struts it stuff, with cascades of plum, sage and pipe tobacco flavors and pillow-soft, velvety mouth feel. Finishing with caressing tannins and a burst of fresh acid, this wine is one for the ages!
