Double Gold, Best of Class 
2021 Central Coast Wine Competition 

Consistently the first variety off the vine each harvest, the Pinot Gris did not disappoint in 2020. Fresh tree fruits of lychee, apricot, and white nectarine resound on the nose with hints of coconut cream. At first sip, these aromas transition to citrus flavors of lemongrass and tangerine, while a gentle acidity glides over the palate revealing chalky undertones of kiwi and melon.

"Clean and crisp on the nose, this Grenache-based rosé pops with melon, poached strawberry and citrus aromas. The palate is firmly grippy, offering citrus peel, red apple and apricot flavors against a steely frame." - Matt Kettmann

An unconventional blend of nine distinct varieties, the 2017 Chorum Red Reserve is a refreshing break from winemaking tradition.  Every year this wine showcases the intensity, the elegance, and the gusto from our vineyard. By combining the dark, juicy Rhone varieties with the red fruit, tannin-driven Bordeaux varieties, this wine offers nuances that both layer and harmonize.

Fall in love with Romantique: dense black fruits and heady spice come together once again in our top wine. Hand-vinted from grape to glass out of the finest blocks in our vineyard with precision winemaking techniques, the Villa San-Juliette Romantique blend resounds with vivid berry notes, enticing aromatics and unending structure. An alluring bouquet of black raspberry, cinnamon stick, and anise segues into lavender and gingerbread notes. Colossal on the palate, flavors of wet stone, brown butter, vanilla spice, and blackberry preserves burst forth in undulating waves. Already rich and full-bodied, this sumptuous wine has chocolatey tannins and a lively acidity that will keep it lush and intriguing until 2030 and beyond.

The 2017 Cabernet Franc Reserve is aromatically enticing, offering initial waves of cocoa dust, violet and vanilla scents that segue into deeper, nuttier notes of woodsmoke and pecans. With an opulent mouthfeel, this wine unfolds in layers of fruit, spice and earthiness. The flavors are robust and intense, with baker’s chocolate, black currant, and cola undergirded by deeper notes of plum, pencil shavings and fruitcake.

Hand-picked from select rows of Block 2, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve resounds with vivid red fruit notes and robust structure. Aromas of rainier cherry, clove, and pluot intermingle with savory cola and cumin. On the mid-palate, this layered, medium-bodied wine offers hints of luscious nutty flavors and spiciness. Toasted almond, red currant, and dried mulberry move into fresh plum and cinnamon. Firm tannins are lifted by a silky acidity that augments the wine’s intriguing finish.

Redolent in aromas of redwood, sage, and baked cranberry, the 2018 is a stunning and bold vintage of this special grape. Famous for earthy characteristics and a magenta-black hue, Alicante Bouschet reaches a new level of intensity here. The mouthfeel is luscious, soft, and dense, as this wine unfolds in layers of red fruit and an array of bold spices and chalky tannins. Pomegranate, tarragon, and nutmeg flavors develop into deeper notes of sweet tobacco, clove, and plum. The wine finishes clean, with a balanced acidity that culminates in the lingering flavors of a fresh raspberry tart.

Vivid color, rich flavor, and classic fragrances reverberate as one of VSJ’s signature wines. Initial aromas of spiced apple and wet stone segue into bursts of tarragon and clove. The first sips offer notes of rhubarb and butter pecan that lengthen into cinnamon and redwood, while lasting flavors of strawberry compote and blue raspberry are rounded off by elegant tannins. This wine’s smooth and refined texture is excellent for sipping on its own or pairing with roasted, wild game and Spring vegetables.

"Dark in hte glass, this bottling shows hearty blackberry aromas with touches of chipped graphite. Focused and framed by chiseled tannins on the palate, it offers dark strawberry, plum and boysenberry flavours, lifted by acidity and a streak of stony minerality." - Matt Kettmann

The 2018 Petite Sirah is bold and lush with deep wild berry, floral and earthy aromas. Combining this fruity intensity with excellent acidity, our Petite Sirah offers big jammy flavors with restrained elegance. Inky hues promise rich qualities and this wine delivers. After explosive aromas of blackberry and plum, lavender and violet layer over cedar and dark chocolate before finishing with blueberry and black tea flavors. The structured tannins are slow on release, yielding a firm struc­ture that melts with rich food pairings.

"Dried cherries, milk chocolate and soil aromas are layered and plush on the nose, though starting to show early age. The palate pops with black currant and blackberry, with strong licorice spice and a late-rising acidity." - Matt Kettmann

Every year, our Zinfandel swells with the mysterious flavors of wild raspberry, rhubarb and holiday spice. The 2018 vintage offers a complex array of aromas, ranging from maple syrup and cranberry sauce to black peppercorn and dried clove. Its palate is dark and rich with blueberry tart and brown sugar crumble notes that swirl into strawberry and licorice depths. Freshly-rolled cigar and oregano come in at a finish that is braced by dusty tannins.
