William Harrison Vineyards
|
|
Family tradition. We have been in the business of making fine wine since the early fifteen hundreds. Of course, previous to 1901 our winemaking heritage took place in Italy. But this is no idle pastime. For the last 100 years we have been making wine in California. Now both William Harrison and Mario Perelli-Minetti (William's uncle) continue the family tradition in the Napa Valley. Below is the picture of our patriarch Antonio Perelli-Minetti ( in the white shirt ) his brothers, and children. The picture shows the family winery in Healdsburg, California at or around 1910. Antonio immigrated from Italy in 1901 and was the the first winemaker in California whom held a winemaking degree. He is concidered to be one of the important figures in California winemaking heritage. His daughter Conchita Perelli-Minetti had a son named William Harrison, and the torch was passed.

Cabernet Franc
A wonderfully rich, intense and balanced Cabernet Franc. Our 2000 Estate-grown Cabernet Franc was picked late in the season to fully develop flavor. In the mouth, tightly focused currant, black cherry, anise and cedar linger nicely, plus touches of tobacco, coffee and spice. The very long finish ends with moderate tannins. An exceptional food wine.
|
Cabernet Sauvignon
A big, bold, intensely flavored wine, our 2000 Estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for over 25 months in oak. Tiers of dusty currant and black cherry stand up to the cedar, tobacco and earth notes. In the mouth, dark-red fruit flavors mix with leather and licorice, while the toasty finish lingers on the palate with moderate tannins. Drink now through 2010.

Estate Chardonnay
From vineyards deep in the Carneros Appellation, we find fruit for this handcrafted Chardonnay. Aged in French oak, creamy layers of smoky fig and pineapple part to reveal complex flavors of apricot and honeysuckle with a light dash of toasty oak. This wine finishes with intensity, concentration and a pretty floral highlight.
