2010 STEVENOT VERMENTINO GRAND RESERVA
The
2010 Stevenot Tuolumne County Vermentino is an example of an Italian
variety that has been overlooked in the United States. These grapes
were picked on September 27, 2010 crushed and pressed to
stainless steel for fermentation. The wine was cold fermented for
over 30 days and was left to settle on the yeast (lees) for three
months prior to racking. Green apple and orange blossom combined
with very bright natural acidity make this a wine that is screaming
for raw oysters or shellfish. This Italian import to California will
age very well in the bottle for two to three more years.

2010 STEVENOT CHARDONNAY GRAND RESERVA
The
Stevenot Winery Calaveras County Chardonnay is the result of careful
selection of perfectly ripe Chardonnay grapes grown in Calaveras
County. We picked the grapes on September 12th during the
night to keep the fruit nice and cool. The grapes were crushed and
pressed to a Stainless Steel tank for settling and inoculation with
yeast. Once fermentation began the fermenting juice was racked to
French and American oak barrels for “barrel fermentation” that took
two weeks to complete. The wine aged on the yeast or “lees” for six
months prior to racking and bottling. This wine has great tropical
pineapple/mango and orange citrus flavors combined with subtle oak
notes from the barrel fermentation. This Sierra Foothill Chardonnay
will age for 3-4 years and will go very well with many grilled
seafood dishes.

Our 2006 Barbera harvest was locally grown,
yielding a wine with flavors of blackberry, spiced plum and

finish, as is common with this typically high acid red. The
balance encouraged through 22 months aging in new and seasoned
French oak barrels, promoted soft vanilla notes and a subtle black licorice
finish. Enjoy!

2006 STEVENOT DANZA ROJA
With our 2006 Danza Roja
blend, we added another layer of elegance by including 16%
Pinot Noir, which introduces flavors of baked cherries and black
tea, along with the grace needed to round this off as a truly
refined wine. The premise is the same, a fully integrated artisan
blend of perfect balance and structure with additional flavors of
blueberry, maple syrup, and sweet almonds. Created to accompany a
wide array of dishes, or to simply enjoy on its own, this wine is a
true example of how blending can encourage a wine which is greater
than its individual components.SOLD OUT

small berries with generous black cherry and licorice flavors,
providing the backbone for our 2006 offering. Through blending with

complexity, showcasing a layered wine with tones of violet, leather,
white pepper, and roasted spice. The local vine vineyards yield some of the finest grapes we have
worked with, contributing a refinement of structure and exceptional
fruit flavor.

STEVENOT
TEMPRANILLO
Assembled with our signature locally grown
Tempranillo grapes, we hand harvested three different clones of this
celebrated Spanish varietal, created a perfect blend with 8%
Graciano and 4% Merlot, and let the flavors meld in barrel for 28
months. Multi-layered on the palate with hints of homemade plum
marmalade, clove, black cherry, and sweet sandalwood. Soft
mid-palate tannins round out bright red fruit with a lingering
subtle vanilla bean finish. Enjoy this wine on its own as a perfect
complement to paella, Serrano ham, or Manchego cheese.
2007 STEVENOT ZINFANDEL
This wine greets you with aromas of licorice, dark fruit and sweet
spices leading to flavors of black cherry and vanilla cream. It is
full-bodied with intense and silky tannins providing structure and a
satisfying finish. To create this lush wine three different blocks
of estate Zinfandel were harvested, fermented and cellared
separately. The wines were aged in a combination of French and
American oak for 22 months and then blended. Savor this wine at
cellar temperature on its own or as a compliment to blue cheese
burgers, lamb kabobs or spicy lentil soup. It is enjoyable now, and
may continue to develop with additional bottle age up to five years.

STEVENOT ORANGE MUSCAT
Packed with flavors of tangy orange blossom and
apple spice, the light acidity balances out perfectly the high
residual sugar, creating a wine that is seductive, zesty, and rich.
Food Pairing: This beautiful late harvested wine makes a perfect
partner to a wide range of desserts. It would be wonderful served
chilled with a steamed orange and persimmon pudding, apple pie, or a
decadent flourless chocolate cake.
2007 STEVENOT GRAN RESERVA MUSCAT CANELLI
Our locally grown Muscat Canelli is undeniably the most pleasant
grape to work with from the vineyard through to the bottle. Distinct
flavors of mint and basil make grape sampling in the field a
pleasure. As the grapes start to mature, the flavors transform to
rich peach and jasmine essence which provide a hint of the end wine
we will achieve. Patience is a virtue when dealing with Muscat
Canelli, as we wait until the latest possible harvest date, allowing
for the highest sugar attainable, and the most concentrated,
complexity possible. During fermentation the cellar is filled with
scents of wildflowers and honey. The wine itself displays intense
rose petal, dried apricot, peach, and mango, with a creamy toffee
finish.
