2007 Olson Ogden Wines Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

The color is medium to dark cherry red. In the nose black fruits are followed by hints spice, vanilla and a touch herbs. It is medium bodied and well balanced with an elegant mouthfeel. This young Pinot Noir is complex and full of flavor with a nice long finish. It is tightly wound now and patient cellaring over the next two to six years will be rewarded.

2007 Estate Chalk Hill Chardonnay

In 1965, our founder Rod Strong was the first to plant chardonnay in what would later be recognized as the Chalk Hill American Viticultural Area (AVA), established officially in 1983. He recognized the region as distinct from the rest of Russian River Valley for its unique chalky white soils, which impart a subtle mineral character to wines grown there. The 2007 vintage started off with a very dry spring, which tended to make for smaller clusters, smaller berries, and less canopy overall. The gr...

2007 Estate Charlotte's Home Sauvignon Blanc

Rod Strong established our heritage sauvignon blanc vineyard in 1971, naming it Charlotte's Home in honor of his wife.

2006 Sonoma - Napa County Syrah

"The color is dark black cherry. In the nose there are hints of earth, spices and black cherries. It is elegant and medium bodied with excellent balance.

2006 Three Sons Cuvee Pinot Noir

This rich and lovely wine is clearly youthful, but it is already impressive to the nose, offering an aromatic display that includes smoke, dark cherry, strawberry, sumac, dried red rose, pencil shavings and cigar box spices. In the mouth it proves just as rich in body and full flavored as the aromas suggest. The finish is long and it reveals some tannic firmness, making it all too clear that this beauty is not fully evolved, although it is delicious enough already that present drinking will not ...

2006 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

"The color is medium to dark cherry red. In the nose there are hints of cola, rose, spices and a touch of forest floor. It is medium to full bodied and well balanced. This young Pinot is complex and full of flavor with a long, lingering finish. It is tightly wound now but will relax with a little time in the bottle. Patient cellaring over the next three to ten years will be rewarded."
