Esterlina Vineyards Supports the Mendocino Coast Humane Society thru August 16th

Wine Club Members!
Greetings from Esterlina Vineyards,
In conjunction with our wine club party this Sunday, August 16, 2009, Esterlina Vineyards is participating in another fundraiser for a local non-profit -- the Mendocino Coast Humane Society. This organization raises money for animals to have a secure environment with full medical care. It also provides low-cost spay and neuter services, as well as low-cost dog training.

For every whole case of wine purchased from Esterlina from August 12, 2009, through the end of the party (August 16, 2009), we will be donating $15 to the Mendocino Coast Humane Society. For every bottle purchased from Esterlina, we will donate $1. Our goal is to sell 100 cases. If we reach our goal, Esterlina Vineyards will donate an additional $500 to the Mendocino Humane Society. If we exceed our goal, we will donate $25 per case for every case over the 100 case goal. To find out more about the non-profit, go to www.mendocinohumane.org

To ensure that we exceed our goal, we are offering case discounts and even greater price reductions on select wines. The case specials and donations to Mendocino Humane Society will start Wednesday, August 12, 2009 and end at 5:00 pm on Sunday, August 16, 2009.

April 2009 Wine Club Tasting Notes

Esterlina Vineyards and Winery
April 2009
Wine Club Tasting Notes

The Enophiles (Reds Only) members will receive the first two wines on the list. The Enophiles (Combo) members will receive the last two wines.


2005 Port, Sonoma County

Esterlina’s ruby-styled port has always been combination of grapes. The 2005 vintage continues that tradition, with some Dry Creek zinfandel, syrah, and a bit of the traditional port grape, Touriga Nacional. As always, it is a big, indulgent port that will pair well with desserts, such as a warm chocolate cake, or by itself. Enjoy.


2007 Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, Esterlina Estate Vineyard

The 2007 Esterlina Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir is very much like our 2006 Anderson Valley Reserve Pinot Noir—a wine we believe to be among the best we have ever produced. Again, from this vineyard, one is apt to get those ripe black cherry, plum, earthy mushroom and spicy cinnamon flavors, and this wine shows those traits. For as ripe as it is, however, it has more than enough acidity. It ends with the customary very long finish. NOTE: Like any red wine that we ship to you, please let it settle for a week or two after you receive it.


2008 Late Harvest Riesling, Cole Ranch

In its late harvest form, our Riesling has the ever-present peach, lemon, floral and vanilla flavors. Notwithstanding the extra residual sugar, you really do notice the wine’s rich complexity, with a bit of melon on the nose, and rich candied fruit in the finish. If we may make one recommendation for serving: try not to over-chill this wine. The flavors are so vivid when it is served just slightly cooled or at room temperature. For dessert, try it with a vanilla-bean crème brulee. With an appetizer, pair it with spring rolls and sweet-spicy dipping sauce.


Through May 20, 2009, enjoy free shipping and an additional 5% discount (25% total discount) when you purchase a case of any Esterlina and Everett Ridge wines. If you purchase 2 or more cases, enjoy free shipping and an additional 15% discount (35% total discount).
