Details
The 2006 “Le Terre Foss” is a complex blend of 14% Dijon Clone 113, 114, 115 and Pommard, and 86% Dijon Clone 777. It exhibits a deep, dark burgundy color, a little more feminine in character than the “777,” it is marked with accents red cherry, strawberry and raspberry fruit. Medium bodied, with excellent mid-palate structure and a subtle white pepper and earthy note, this wine has a long and satiny finish, which goes on and on. Delicate and refined tannins with spice notes, round out its trade mark Pinot Noir character. The “Le Terre Foss” is quite approachable now, but will continue to reward those who can properly cellar it over the next four to five years. 200 cases were produced at an alcohol level of 13.7%.
Offered at $35.00 a bottle
full case - 12 bottles
Our first venture into the white wine arena, the 2006 Elkhorn Ridge Vineyards & Winery “Cala d’Or,” as mentioned above, is a blend of 33% Pinot Blanc and a 67% Pinot Gris, all estate grown. 100% stainless steel fermented to dryness, this wine shows a very nice balance of fruit, with notes of pears, white peaches and tropical fruits, all showing through quite nicely. The “Cala d’Or” is a medium bodied wine with a lively structure and medium finish. This is a multi-purpose white wine, which will integrate extremely well with food, as well as being an excellent aperitif. Quantities of this wine are extremely limited as only 25 cases were produced! The alcohol level is 14.1%. This wine is ONLY available to our mailing list customers and is bottled with an innovative glass-top closure!
Offered at $20.00 a bottle

Unlike the “Le Terre Foss,” the 2006 Elkhorn Ridge Vineyards & Winery “777” Pinot Noir is noted for its deep black fruit and minerally undertones. Black cherries, blackberries, black currants, a plumy note characterize this wine. The “777,” is a joyful mouthful of lovely Pinot Noir, which is further distinguished with an extra long finish, a slight touch of chocolate and excellent balance throughout. Slightly more full-bodied, but never heavy, and more fruit driven than the “Le Terre Foss,” this wine is vibrant and sophisticated and is turning out to be everything we had hoped it would be! Drink now through 2011. Alcohol 14.1%. 300 cases produced.
