12003 Joullian Cabernet Sauvignon,
Carmel Valley Estate
The 2003 Joullian Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has the best combination of richness and balance since the 1997 vintage. Rich, robust, balanced and concentrated - this is Carmel Valley Cabernet at its finest. Note that our new French oak barrels add spice, not overtly woody flavors...3-year air dried stavewood makes the difference. Fermentation with multiple yeast strains boosts aromas, amplifies black fruit/anise flavors, and "texturizes" the ample tannins of the Bordeaux varietals.
Enjoy our marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc now, or after 10-15 years in the bottle.The wine will always remain balanced, fruity, and with ever increasing perfume.
Varietal Content: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc
Tasting Notes:Dark garnet with a cherry rim. Spicy anise, blackberry, black cherry, mineral and cedar aromas carry forward to ripe, round black berry fruit flavors which lead to an elegant, slightly smoky, mineral, licorice and black cherry finish.
Award: California State Fair Wine Competition: 90 Pts
Reg. Price: $30.00
Our Price: $18.00


12004 Sias Cuvée Zinfandel · Carmel Valley Estate
Dick Sias, cofounder of Joullian Vineyards, is considered the father of Zinfandel in Carmel Valley. In 1984, he supervised the planting of Carmel Valley's first Zinfandel vines at Joullian.We began with a non-heat-treated Amador County clone selected by Dr. Bioletti in 1917, and have since added pre-prohibition vineyard selections from Lytton Springs, Brandlin (Mt.Veeder), St. Peter's Church (Cloverdale) and Primitivo-3 (Puglia, Italy). For complexity, we also have small amounts of Petite Sirah (Lytton Springs), plus our Italian field crush varieties: Aleatico, Alicante Bouchet, Carignane and Black Grenache. Joullian's multi-clonal approach in the vineyard continues to reap multidimensional benefits in the winery. Malolactic fermentation was completed in French oak barrels and bottled unfined, unfiltered.
TASTING NOTES: May, 2007
Very dark garnet color with a ruby rim. Powerful black raspberry, anise and spicy floral nose. Balanced ripe raspberry, plum and strawberry flavors expand into a lively red currant-red plum midpalate. A long, clean finish is enhanced with nuances of vanilla, black pepper and anise.
Reg. Price: $25.00
Our Price: $16.00

1Brassfield Pinot Grigio 2005
This wine displays forward tropical fruit aromas, framed by a crisp and balanced acidity.
"Our 2005 Pinot Grigio comes from two vineyards of the Alsatian clone. The cold fermentation temperatures promote and retain flowery ester aromas, and after 3 weeks the fermentations are complete. The result, tropical fruit aromas with subtle flinty notes, enhanced with fragrances of passion fruit, plantains and honey. The flavors of lemon custard and apple are framed by a crisp and balanced acidity with a long lingering finish."

1Brassfield Sauvignon Blanc 2005
Cooler growing conditions allow for longer grape hang-times enhancing flavor development, and better acid retention in the juice and finished wine. 11% Semillon from a new, young vineyard was blended to add more body to the mid-palate prior to bottling. Citrus aromas with a hint of mineral are intertwined by complex bouquets of gooseberry, grapefruit and a hint of fresh taragon. The wine has good weight on the palate, is framed by a good acid backbone, and finishes crisp and smooth.
