Winemakers Notes - After 24 vintages of making wine, the Goldschmidt Vineyard Series is the most important that I make. As you know I make many millions of cases of wine but with Goldschmidt Vyborny Vineyard I help pick, pump over, shovel out, barrel fill, barrel rack and bottle. I am hands-on all the way and leave no stone unturned. I don't get to truly do that anywhere but here. This vineyard is really special as well. It faces north which is a very unusual aspect for Alexander Valley and the resultant cooler temperatures permit longer hangtimes. Unfined and unfiltered, here is a wine with great drive and power. Truly a real wine of place. --Nick Goldschmidt
