2006 Merlot Cuvée
Sonoma County – New Release
2 bottles
included
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
2006 Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley
Double
Gold, Sonoma County Harvest Fair
1 bottle included
Sonoma produces some of
the best Pinots in the world. Receiving the highest award of any Pinot Noir
entered in the Sonoma County Harvest Fair was both an honor and an
affirmation. Pinot Noir is known
for its subtlety and is a true reflection of the care taken in the winemaking
process. This thin-skinned grape
thrives in the Russian River Valley and under the gentle touch of winemaker,
Robert Rex. Using traditional
Burgundian practices, we aged sur-lees for two years and left the wine
un-fined, resulting in a feminine wine rich in fruit, floral notes and herbal
aromatics. Retail: $45
2006 Red Rex
Sonoma County – New Release
2 bottle included
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
2004
Cabernet Sauvignon
North Coast
2 bottles included
In our tasting room, John and
Ben always recommend this wine. Pouring the wine as often as they do, they experience how the wine
progresses as it matures, recognizing when they are showing their best. This Cabernet has been lighting up the
tasting room with its soft fruit and well balanced palate. This amazingly food-friendly Cabernet
is blended with all five Bordeaux varietals, adding structure and nuance to the
wine. Retail: $30

2003 Syrah
Ladi’s Vineyard, Sonoma
County
2 bottles included
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.
Retail: $40
2003 Ladi’s Cuvée
Ladi’s Vineyard, Sonoma County
2
bottles included
Ladi’s Vineyard wines have
enjoyed a dedicated and faithful following for many years. Ladi sold his
vineyard last year and retired back home to Slovenia. Almost as though they
missed Ladi, the Cabernet and Merlot vines in his vineyard succumbed at last to
Phylloxera. Just as a star shines
brightest before it bursts, this vineyard saved the best song for its last
verse. Our supply of this wine is
running low and we will miss it, just as we miss Ladi.
Retail: $45
2002 DRX
North Coast
1 bottle included
The
DRX is our flagship wine, a five Bordeaux varietal, barrel select blend. To understand it is to understand the
soul of an artist. Robert hand picks the best tasting barrels of wine in the cave from
as many as 300 barrels from 27 vineyards to create the DRX, marking his
favorites with an X. Just as a
chef goes to the farmer’s market looking for the finest ingredients, we do the
same. Without a specific recipe in
mind, Robert looks to the individual components of each wine to dictate the
blend. Blended in the second year
of barrel aging the wine is returned to our favorite barrels for a third year.
This dedication to the final marriage of flavors is almost unheard of in the
industry. DRX exemplifies the art of blending. Retail: $85
