2012 Cowhorn Spiral 36

As our vineyard matures, it’s teaching us how to make our Spiral 36 even better. This time around, the rich flavors of Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne are tightly entwined, flooding your mouth with tropical and citrus fruit flavors that persist on the palate. Sip the wine alone or pair it with full-flavored dishes and strong cheeses. If you can, stash a few bottles for later in the year, when the wine will show even more complexity $28

2011 Cowhorn Viognier

The 2011 Cowhorn Viognier is an incisive, surprising white wine with qualities similar to those that earned the grape its own appellation in the northern Rhone. The flavors arrive first as aromas of cool tropical fruits, almond extract and vanilla bean. In your mouth the wine is instantly refreshing; the flavors lifting off like a dancer into the arc of a leap, framed securely by citrus acidity with the texture of raw silk. At table, it is a comely companion for anything savory. 93 Points Wine Enthusiast - March 2013

2009 Cowhorn Syrah 80

More than ever, this Syrah validates our decision to plant a grape that was distinctly unfashionable. At its best, Syrah can pack masculine power into feminine sensuality and wrap bright blueberry sweetness in dark earthy hedonism, filling every corner of your mouth with something delicious. That’s what we aim for, and – despite all the weather challenges and 80 hours of frost in 2009 – our biodynamic vineyard gave it to us. Also plushness, bright acidity, and beautiful balance. For pairing, think T-bone or rib-eye steaks, grilled meats or Portobello mushrooms, and pastas with savory or smoky flavors.

2012 Grenache Rose

  • Sold Out

In France, the words “Grenache Rosé” are synonymous with “summer dining.” That’s because the best examples are both white and red at the same time: slender body and low alcohol combined with rich strawberry and rhubarb flavors and a good grip on the palate. Our superb head-trained Grenache vines love to make rosé, so we get out of the way and let them sing. Perfect for picnics, no matter what else is in the basket. Only available to members of Club Cowhorn. $22

2011 Cowhorn Marsanne Roussanne

  • Sold Out

If other white grapes are violins, Roussanne and Marsanne are viola and cello: able to sing just as sweetly but in a lower, more resonant register. In this wine they make beautiful music together, blending the flavors of ripe pears and clover honey with the darker sweetness of hazelnuts and almond butter. The finish is remarkably light and clean, showing the natural balance our biodynamic vineyard brings to full-flavored grapes. Nice low alcohol makes this a wine you can sip all afternoon or pair with anything Asian.

2009 Cowhorn Reserve Syrah

  • Sold Out

At Cowhorn, we take the “Reserve” label seriously. This wine was literally reserved from our Syrah 80 in 2009 because it had its own personality. Think of it as a really suave middle linebacker: big and powerful, yet nimble enough to bowl you over in a very nice way. The luscious fruit flavors include blackberries and cherries up front and blueberries past the mid-palate. Generous oak aging layered in dark chocolate, vanilla and baking spices, giving the wine a harmonious intensity.

2010 Grenache 58

  • Sold Out

Slow your senses down and take in everything this wine has to offer. There are inviting aromas of red plums, raspberries and milk chocolate, and they all flow together with fresh spring strawberry flavors when you take a sip. The gentle grip of tannins on your tongue feels like raw silk on skin, and that hint of pencil lead recalls the rocky vineyard block where the wine grows. Best of all is the balance: sweet and savory, soft and mineral all at once. Usually we say that Grenache is the ultimate food wine, but you may find yourself enjoying this one on its own. 92 Points Wine Advocate - August 2012 $30
