Winemaker's Notes	2005 Copeland Creek Vineyards Pinot Noir The rocky, well-drained hills sloping up from Copeland Creek provide an ideal terroir for this classic Pinot Noir. Morning fog and afternoon breezes drift inland from the Sonoma Coast to cool down the summer heat for longer maturation of the varietal fruit character. Earthy black cherry, raspberry and spice notes layer with supple, velvety smoke to form a complex balance with a long finish. This elegant wine compliments either rich or subtle flavors and is eminently drinkable all on its own. “95 points ... sweet oak, silky texture; good structure & balance; long finish. A truly interesting & complete Pinot. It's not over the top in any way other than in overall flavor. It's a delicious example of the colder climate Pinots from the Petaluma Gap & of Don Baumhefner's gift in putting terrific Pinot in the bottle.” – Pinot Report, February 15, 2008 All Reviews top	$30 bottle 6+ bottles: 10% discount
Winemaker's Notes	2004 Copeland Creek Vineyards Pinot Noir “... A medium bodied Pinot Noir of great breeding. Cherries, plums, nutmeg, cinnamon and sweet oak aromas draw you in. Red fruits dance on the palate and that telltale spicy cherry finish that Copeland Creek is known for lingers forever. A beautifully balanced wine of great complexity and elegance. Pick any superlative you wish.” – PinotFile, Volume 6, Issue 12; January 15, 2007 All Reviews top	SOLD OUT
Winemaker's Notes	2003 Copeland Creek Vineyards Pinot Noir “Don Baumhefner uses his years of experience in the wine industry including over ten years at Joseph Swan Vineyards to farm his Sonoma Coast vineyard planted to Dijon clones 114, 115, 777 and 828 and the legendary Swan clone. He crafts a beautiful table wine that would be a welcome staple in anyone's dining room. The most distinctive feature of his Pinot Noir is oodles of spice…” – PinotFile, Vol 5/Issue 27, March 14, 2006 All Reviews top	SOLD OUT

Winemaker's Notes	2004 Copeland Creek Vineyards Chardonnay Grown in sunny Sonoma County in our well-drained soil next to Copeland Creek, the flavor in these grapes fully develops in an extended season made possible by the cooling morning fog and afternoon breezes off the nearby Pacific Ocean. After fermenting and aging in 100% French oak barrels, our Chardonnay matures into a wine that is soft and bright, subtle and creamy. Layers of ripe fruit, oak, and butter promise a silky smooth finish in this engaging wine. Tasting Notes Beautifully structured with bright aromas of lemon butter, nectarine, pears and citrus. The mid-palate shows notes of custard, green apple, minerals and toast that continue to the well-delineated finish. All Reviews top	$18 bottle 6+ bottles: 10% discount
