CAIN PHILOSOPHY of winemaking is simple: ripe fruit, gentle handling, attention to detail, timely intervention, and judicious blending. There is no particular secret—we all know that the key lies in the grapes. Each facet of the vineyard is picked at the optimum moment, and each lot is vinified separately and finishes its fermentation in the barrel. Following the careful evaluation of each lot, trial blends are prepared and, after many tastings, the final blend is made in the spring following the harvest. Cain Five is aged as a blend so that all the components can meld to form a complete whole.

Developing our vineyards in the rocky soils of Spring Mountain proved that wine was truly our labor of love. Using a field blend of 90% cabernet sauvignon with small amounts of merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot (for color), we finally achieved our first Estate Cabernet release in 2000. Due to our small yields, we produced only a limited amount that, much to our delight, sold immediately. In 2001, we were able to increase the production to 170 cases of wine that displays elegance in the style of premier cru Bordeaux.

+721040 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Champs Gains" 6x750ml  
+721036 Bourgogne Rouge 12x750ml  
Chassagne Montrachet - Bernard Moreau is a very dedicated grower in Chassagne who owns an impressive array of vineyards. He aims to produce wines with excellent purity of fruit and concentration at his 10-hectare estate. Moreau produces more red Chassagne than white, but he offers more appellations in Chardonnay than for Pinot Noir. Moreau recently installed a new bladder press for better extraction of fruit and aromas, giving the wines both more intensity and finesse. After pressing, the wine runs, by means of gravity, into oak casks in the barrel cellar below the cuverie. One-third new oak, from 3 different tonneliers, is used for the white wines, and one fifth for the reds. The white wines see weekly battonage (or stirring of the lees) and are generally bottled in September, before the new harvest. In the words of Pierre Rovani (Wine Advocate #123) Moreau produces “plump, opulent, and delicious” wines.

The elegance and finesse of our wines have attracted as zealous a circle of customers as any winery can boast, and we are truly grateful for their allegiance, although we will never relax in our pursuit of perfection. We believe that we have yet to make our best bottle of wine, and we will never stop trying.

Krupp Brothers Estates is a dream of two brothers, Bart and Jan, and their passion for great wine and intense terroir. Beginning in 1991 with Dr. Jan Krupp’s planting of Krupp Vineyard, high above Stag’s Leap, the last acre of vines was planted on Pritchard Hill by both brothers at Stagecoach Vineyards in 2000. Today with almost 20 different red and white varietals planted amidst 1300 acres of red and rocky soils, a fantastically diverse palette is available to create rich and complex wines each year.

Rudy’s winemaking philosophy centers on the concept that great wines are created in the vineyard and not in the winery. His most important winemaking tool is his palate: his ability to understand and analyze each vineyard’s wine potential through the tasting of the grapes. All of the grapes used in the von Strasser label are picked at their optimum ripeness when the flavors are peaking and the tannins have become ripe and soft. Based on these harvest decisions, the correct combination of fermentation and winemaking techniques (including cold soaking, fermentation temperatures, extended maceration, aeration, and an aggressive barrel program) are employed to maximize each vineyard’s potential. The end result is wine of great extract and a tannin complex which is both huge and soft at the same time. The resultant mouth feel is often described as being “chewy”, and makes these hillside wines both approachable when young, yet also worthy of further development with age.

Luck and timing led Bill and Joan Smith into the wine business: enthusiasm, perseverance, and good advice from a few talented friends facilitated their success as world-class producers. A wrong turn while trying to visit Chappellet Vineyard led Bill Smith to discover and purchase the historic ghost winery, La Jota Vineyard Co., including 40 acres on top of Howell Mountain in the Napa Valley. Two years later, in 1976, Bill and his new wife, Joan, spent their honeymoon planting the first 2 acres of vines, which would grow to 28 acres by 1978. After a few classes in home winemaking at UC Davis, a lot of experimenting, and some priceless mentoring from friend and Howell Mountain neighbor Randy Dunn, the Smith's produced La Jota Vineyard's first Cabernet Sauvignon vintage in 1982. With Bill making the wine and Joan responsible for sales and marketing, the couple garnered attention and accolades-including being listed as #2 on Robert Parker's roster of "heroes" in the December 1994 issue of The Wine Advocate. Curious by nature and eager to embrace new adventures, it didn't take much for friend and winemaker Helen Turley to inspire in Bill the desire to try his hand at Pinot Noir. In 1992, under a new W. H. Smith Wines label, the Smiths released their first vintage of Sonoma County Pinot Noir. Passionate for Pinot, in 1994 Bill and Joan purchased 360 acres along the Sonoma Coast on a ridge high above the town of Cazadero. The first vintage of Maritime Ridge Vineyards-the Smith's rising star-was harvested in 2002 and will be released in the spring of 2004.

The Flowers Story
As nursery owners in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Walt and Joan Flowers had long dreamed of combining their love of wine with their passion for agriculture. They knew they wanted to produce their favorite varietals, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir; what they didn't know was that their path would eventually lead them across country to Northern California's rugged Sonoma Coast. After responding to a small classified ad in a national wine publication, that's exactly where they landed.

In 1989, after many information-gathering trips to Napa and Sonoma, Walt and Joan purchased 321 acres, including a ridge top, high above the Pacific Ocean on the northern Sonoma Coast. With the same determination they drew on to build their successful nursery business; the Flowers proceeded with the dream of producing their favorite cool-climate varietals in a place they believed uniquely suited to growing them.

Today, Flowers Winery produces 15,000 cases of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from its two estate properties, Camp Meeting Ridge and Flowers Ranch, as well as select vineyards in the coolest regions of the Sonoma Coast AVA, which are farmed to Flowers' specifications by their own crews. In addition to direct consumer sales, the wines are sold to fine restaurants and retailers in the US and overseas.
