2002 Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon - Unfiltered
Cabernet Sauvignon is slow to ripen and needs an exceptionally good
year to produce an exceptionally good wine. Fortunately, this was the
case in 2002. We ferment this wine at much lower temperatures than is
usual with hot climate cabernets and blend just enough Old Vines
Merlot, malbec and cabernet franc to round out this sumptuous wine. The
2002 OV Cabernet Sauvignon is lush and smooth across the palate
with flavors of tangy red currants, rich black cherries and creamy
raspberries. This Old Vines Cabernet will improve in the cellar for 15-20 years. $40/bottle -- sold on an allotment basis to Lenz Subscribers |

2002 Old Vines Merlot - Unfiltered Lenz
Old Vines Merlot is made from grapes grown in our oldest blocks,
planted more than 30 years ago. Our Old Vines Merlot shows
classic merlot dark-fruit characters of black plums, black cherries and
raspberries. We reserve the Old Vines designation for
exceptional vintages that exhibit great depth, complexity and aging
potential. These wines are special when we release them but continue to improve in the cellar for 20 years. $55/bottle -- sold on an allotment basis to Lenz Subscribers

2008 Old Vines Chardonnay The Old Vines style is
intended to emphasize fruit intensity, balance and elegance. We
use very limited barrel fermentation and oak-aging tends to be
'neutral,' meaning we only use older barrels that allow the wine to
achieve greater complexity and flavor concentration but leave less of
an oak fingerprint on the wine. Old Vines Chardonnay is focused
on flavors of apple and pear with notes of fig. $25/bottle -- sold on an allotment basis to Lenz Subscribers |

2007 Estate Selection Merlot Lenz
Estate Selection Merlot is made from ripe grapes harvested in mature
vineyards. The characteristic flavor profile is deep and rich,
full of black cherries and dark red plums, with plenty of
soft-and-supple tannins. The final blend is carefully assembled
from individual barrel lots as the wine ages -- usually 85-90% merlot
with some cabernet franc, malbec and petit verdot blended in. The
wine is never filtered; nor is it fined. $23/bottle |

1999 Cuvée RD When we
sell out of a particular sparkling wine vintage, we usually hold back
60 or 70 cases to continue aging and improving in the bottle. The
French refer to Champagnes made using this
'late-finishing' process as 'RD', or Récemment dégorgé (recently
disgorged). The 1999 is rich and sumptuous with a certain nutty earthiness that comes with the process, overlaying the
original - - but muted - - fruit base of the wine. $60/bottle
