12 O'Clock High--an SF Chronicle Thanksgiving Pick
November 20, 2011
We are very excited to see our 2009 12 O'Clock High among Jon Bonne's 2011 Thanksgiving recommendations: "2009 Alta Colina 12 O'Clock High Estate Paso Robles White ($28, 14.8%): This relatively new label owned by Lynn and Bob Tillman has found a great white expression from an estate mix of Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc. Big but plenty energetic, with a subtle honeysuckle kick from the Viognier but also a quicksilver nerve - think hay and steel and dried apricots."
Check out the full article to see his other recommendations.

We're releasing our very first dry rose! Club members had a sneak peek of this wine back in May and June 1st marks the general release of our 2010 Grenache/Syrah Rose. This beautiful wine will be a great accompaniment to any summer meal or gathering and at only $20 a bottle ($16 for Club) this will be the perfect summetime house wine.
