W
ente Vineyards
and The Wine-
makers Studio are
continuing their themes this
spring with consistent and
well-balanced wines.
An early release, the 2014
Pinot Noir Rosé from Wente
Vineyards will be out the
first part of February. It
is similar to past
rosés, says Lindsay
Knight, Tasting
Room Director,
and has been a fa-
vorite with club mem-
bers and guests.
"It is great we are releasing
it earlier this year," Knight
says, "so guests can enjoy
throughout the year."
In March, The Winemakers
Studio will release its 2014
Malvasia Bianca, a new white
varietal. The wine is lighter
in body like a Pinot Grigio
with a light, crisp taste.
"It's a different varietal
that is indicative of what
they're doing at The Wine-
makers Studio," says Knight.
"The focus is more on play-
ing and winemakers doing
what they want. They have
the freedom to experiment."
The Winemakers Studio
will also have new Artisan
Red, Artisan White and Azul-
Verde wines, all 2013, avail-
able in kegs for growler pur-
chases in the Tasting Room.
Wente Vineyards' May
releases will include its
2013 Serenity blend with
Counoise, Grenache and
Syrah grapes.
This blend has wonderful
aromas and flavors of ripe
blackberry, roasted coffee
with toasted spice. It's big
yet balanced with good
tannins and a long, smooth
finish.
The 2013 Grenache is an-
other great wine for spring.
It's a lighter fruity wine with
a hint of strawberry.
A favorite with wine en-
thusiasts, 2013's The Nth De-
gree Chardonnay has hints of
crème brulee, butterscotch
and graham cracker. It also
teems with fruit flavors —
citrus, lemon and apple.
SNEAK PREVIEW
Here's what coming in time for spring from
Wente Vineyards and The Winemakers Studio
triple feature
M
urrieta's Well recently re-
leased a trio of new
wines to enjoy this spring.
The 2013 Los Tesoros
White Meritage is similar to its
2011 counterpart with 40 per-
cent Semillon grapes. The re-
sult is a white Bordeaux-style
wine with fruits and floral fla-
vors that linger on the finish.
Next is the 2013 Los
Tesoros Tempranillo. This
wine features Graciano grapes,
a blending grape found in
many Spanish wines.
"It's ready to drink out the
door and it's going to get bet-
ter," says Tasting Room Man-
ager Lori Albiani. "It finishes
with a hint of spice on the end."
The 2013 Los Tesoros
Cabernet Franc is ready to be
enjoyed now, Albiani says, and
in the next six months it will be
a full-bodied, big wine.
