Wine List
“The wines of Casa Nuestra are eclectic and of special interest. We take great pride in producing small lots of old world, delicious and now somewhat obscure varietals from both our own organic vineyards (some of which date back to the 1940’s) and other small vineyards we seek out. Many of these wine styles and varietals have been lost in the commercialization of wine over the past few decades. Order a few bottles, taste and enjoy the living history.”

2009 off dry Riesling, St. Helena Estate, Old Vines
$24 bottle / $288 case
Club Member Only Release until April 1, 2010
We have only seven rows and the fence line of Riesling grapes planted on our estate in 1966. With less than 1% residual sugar (RS), it is a beautifully balanced wine with bright, exotic fruits and a racy acidity making the finish crisp & clean. Enjoy slightly chilled on sultry afternoons or all year long with spicy Asian dishes or smoked cheese and apples. Just like the mural (from our winery) that graces the label, we think this wine is out of this world! 247 cases were produced.
2007 Tinto, St. Helena Napa Valley Estate
$32 btl / $384 case

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, St. Helena Estate
$55 bottle / six bottle limit
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was grown on the western-facing hillside of our St. Helena Estate. Each year, this small block yields enough juice to fill six small French Oak barrels, in which we age the wine for eighteen months. The result is beautiful: a bright and silky wine with complex flavors of black cherry and blueberry along with hints of vanilla with a velvety finish. 199 cases

2008 Late Harvest French Colombard, Old Vines, Napa Valley, Oakville Estate
$20 bottle /$240 case, splits (375 ml bottles) only 
The French Colombard grapes are from a very small block of near-70 year-old vines topping our dry-farmed, hillside vineyard in Oakville. These vines are typically, as they were this year, Botrytized by the time we harvested in late November. The Botrytis (aka Noble Rot) concentrates the fruit flavors without raising the sugar level. This wine offers unique apricot flavors and with only 8% residual sugar, a refreshingly clean finish. It pairs beautifully with cheeses, dried fruits and mixed, salted nuts. 99 cases produced
2007 Merlot, Napa Valley, St. Helena Estate

Our 100% estate Merlot has consistently ranked among the finest from this dry, riparian terroir offering wines that are rich, complex and full-bodied. This vintage is no exception. Look for luscious red fruit in this bottle with a supple, round finish. This wine was bottled July 31, 2009 and should be cellared or decanted before enjoying. 151 cases produced.

2007 Petite Sirah, Old Vines, Green Valley Solono County
$34 bottle / six bottle limit
This Petite Sirah is from Signore Pasquale’s tiny, dry-farmed vineyard just a few hills east of the winery in Solono’s Green Valley. It is a beautiful vineyard: all Roman style, head-pruned and planted nearly fifty years ago We made the wine traditionally, in small oak barrels. The result is a deeply colored wine with bold brambly flavors. 203 cases produced.
2008 Symphony, Lodi Valley

Truly a California native, Symphony is a grape variety which was created and recorded at UC Davis in 1948. It is a cross of Grenache Gris and Muscat of Alexandria.

2007 Tinto Classico, Old Vines, Napa Valley, Oakville Estate
$42 bottle / 6-bottle limit Club Casa Members, 3-bottles, non-members
(sold out)
This original field-blend wine offers a balance of bright fruit, (we get creamy blackberries and dark cherries this year) with a spicy white pepper on the finish. About nine varieties are side by side in this vineyard planted in the early 1940’s. The actual percentage of each contributing varietal is undetermined and may include Old-Clone Zinfandel, Mondeuse, Carignane, and Petite Sirah to name just a few. I’ve enjoyed past vintages of this wine with cream sauces over pasta or pork medallions in a reduction sauce. We produced 240 cases.
