Taft Street Winery
|
|
At Taft Street, we have worked with the same growers and vineyards for years now, and we feel we have learned to maximize the qualities these vineyards possess. We have identified vineyards in our own Russian River Valley and in nearby Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys. We produce limited production quantities of wine which reflect both the individual qualities of the vineyard and our own winemaking skills. However, our goals have not changed. Make good wine with a balance of fruit and acidity. Make it available at a fair price. Most of all, have fun in the process! We're still doing it.

2001 Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Excellent red-purple color, the bouquet is smooth and sweet with a mixture of berry and cedar aromas.
|
2001 Russian River Valley Merlot
This wine rises several steps above the ordinary. The aromas and flavors of blackberry, plum and smokey oak meld into a remarkably smooth Merlot. Medium tannins are complex and the wine finished generously.
|
2001 Sonoma Coast PEKA Pinot Noir
The wine is deep red-purple in color. There are generous blueberry aromas and spicy elements on the palate. There is enough tannin in the structure to reward ageing.
|
2002 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Excellent red-purple color. The bouquet is smooth with characteristics of black cherry and sweet smoke. On the palate the wine is very balanced, with dark cherry fruit overtones and a backdrop of cedar. Nice long finish.
|
2002 Sonoma Coast PEKA Pinot Noir
This is a generously fruited wine with loads to offer. The aromas are varied, with cedar and berry in the forefront. The wine fills the mouth and finishes long. True Pinot!
|
2002 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
There are generous blueberry aromas and spicy elements on the palate. The wine has a forward fleshiness that will make it attractive while young.
|
2002 Sonoma County Merlot
The wine is medium to dark red in color. There are generous cherry aromas with touches of oak and spice.
|
2003 Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Smells great, with just the right mix of apples and melon on a backdop of oak. A richly textured wine feels long and rich in the mouth. The flavors persist through the finish.
|
2003 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Light straw-yellow color, the bouquet is tight and crisp with lemon, apricot, and floral aromas.
|
2003 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc
The wine is light to medium yellow-green in color, with a clean and powerful bouquet. The wine holds a distinct varietal core, complemented with a touch of tropical fruit. A very nice Sauvignon Blanc!
|
Sonoma County Chardonnay
The nose is a complex show of melon and pear fruit, a touch of vanilla from sweet oak.
