Sleeping Dog Wines
|
|
Sleeping Dog Wines had our first commercial crush in 2002 after years of experimentation, aided and abetted by the good graces of our friends. Wines are made from lots chosen during daily walks in the neighboring vineyards with the poster child canine as the grapes mature. Our wines are generally harvested later than "normal", reflecting our origins in gleaning from the harvest leftovers, and result in strong fruit flavors. We make a Merlot, blended with small amounts of Malbec, a Syrah, and a Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc that has tropical fruits with light spice from low percentages of Gewürztraminer.

Merlot
The grapes for this vintage were harvested late and processed cold to enhance their full flavors. The extended maceration resulted in a deep, pure garnet color and intense, lingering flavors of black cherries and jam. Upon opening, your nose is greeted with striking aromas of ripe berries. Great with spicy meats and barbeque. BRONZE MEDAL - 2005 San Francisco Chronical Wine Competition
