Barrel Tasting at Big Basin Vineyards

by Cheryl Wolhar - MyVineSpace on March 1, 2010

I had the opportunity to pour wine out at Big Basin Vineyards on Sunday and had a really great time meeting and chatting with everyone. Everyone that visited us at the winery on Sunday got the chance to try the 09 Lester Family Vineyard Pinot, the 09 Alfaro Family Vineyard Pinot and the 08 Coastview Syrah. All are still in the barrel and about 1 year away from bottling, however all are already fabulous. A couple of our visitors said they wish they could buy them now. I wish I could have a small barrel of the Lester at my house. It was definitely my favorite although all were great!

I’m not among those winemakers afraid to let the naturally occurring, (wild/native/indigenous), yeast be our primary means to ferment our grapes. I know think wild yeast fermentations are just that – wild and uncontrolled, but I think they are missing [...]
