2008 Chardonnay Robert
has worked with Peter Haywood, owner of the Los Chamizal Vineyard, for over 30
years. Their collaboration on the 2007 Los Chamizal Chardonnay garnered a
94-point review from Sonoma Sommelier Wine Magazine. Not being the type of men to settle, the duo set their
sights on the 2008 vintage to thread the line amongst the oaky-buttery
Nuevo-California, the often unbalanced tank fermented, and the traditionally
austere but multi-layered Burgundian styles of Chardonnay. This wine is a
testament to what can be created when farmer and winemaker partner to shape the
perfect Chardonnay.
Retail: $24
The coolness of the
Russian River Valley and the volcanic ash of Chalk Hill infuse this wine with a
beautiful mineral quality. We
ferment this Sauvignon Blanc in stainless steel tanks at very low temperature
to retain the crisp acids and bright citrus flavors that fill and freshen the
palate. This wine will be the bad
influence that makes you put off a Saturday project in favor of a glass of wine
on the patio in the afternoon sun.
From Hollywood to
Magazine reviews, the wine world is full of external stimuli that shape the
status quo, but we wouldn’t be Deerfield if we weren’t willing to challenge all
that. With the previous Merlot
Cuvée vintage, we proved that we could produce depth and balance capable of
converting even the most “Sideways” of wine drinkers. Robert hand
selected each barrel of Merlot to form the backbone of this wine and moved
outside the box to create a unique blend. Retail: $26

2003 Syrah Ladi’s Vineyard is in the
foothills of the Mayacamus Mountains, in an area rich with minerals deposited
over centuries of volcanic activity. At first glance, the brilliant color and thick glycerin ribbons of the
legs evoke images of dark, berry-laden cake. Chocolate and cedar provide a deep foundation to the
blackberry fruit. PJ says this
wine is truly singing right now.
Taking up cooking as a
child, Robert’s palate has been refined over more than a half a century yet
each vintage of the Red Rex leaves us in awe. State-of-the-art winemaking produces nearly 150 lots of wine
each year from which master blender, Robert Rex, selects the players. Seven varietals are layered over one
another to fill the palate with transcendent notes of subtlety and depth to
produce the symphony. From neophyte
to connoisseur this wine will enlighten your senses and enhance your
experience. Retail: $28
Peter Haywood’s Los
Chamizal Vineyard climbs the steep walls of a small isolated valley near the
town of Sonoma. Robert and Peter selected just the best rows from several unique
sections of the vineyard to make this wine, each row highlighting a particular
micro-terroir of the vineyard. Their collaboration is evident in both this and
the 2008 Los Chamizal Chardonnay. They are dedicated to environmentally friendly farming and clean and
green winemaking practices. Their perfection of their craft is apparent in
every sip. Retail: $50
