Vintage Romance Volume 1

 
Issue #1 - 2001 North Coast Merlot
Released: Summer 2003

 
Our first issue! Sure to become a collector's classic!

For the launch of the Vintage Romance series, we chose an incredible Merlot made from select Sonoma, Napa, and Lake county fruit. Aged for over ten months in French oak barrels at our 5000 square foot cave, this Merlot exhibits all of the best qualities of the varietal. 

Tasting Notes:

  • Dark ruby color
  • Big blackberry jam nose with hints of vanilla.
  • Medium body
  • Blackcurrant jam and cola notes on the palate
  • Long dark-fruit finish

 

 
Issue #2 - 2002 North Coast Sauvignon Blanc
Released: Spring 2004
 

The excitement continues in the next chapter of the Rutz Vintage Romance saga!

Just in time for summer, our second Vintage Romance release is a cool, crisp, Sauvignon Blanc. Fresh and floral, with simple lines that accentuate the high quality of the select Sonoma, Napa, and Lake county fruit, this is a great wine to serve chilled on a hot summer day.

Tasting Notes:

  • Crystal-clear light-straw color
  • Floral aromas with hints of spice and green herbs.
  • Palate-refreshing acid backbone
  • Tangy grapefruit and lime flavors
  • Extra long finish
