| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nInky purple in color.\u00a0 The nose is tight but shows some cassis and spice.\u00a0 On the palate, this is medium to full bodied.\u00a0 Firm tannins.\u00a0 Deep with tight layers of cassis, spice and slight earthiness.\u00a0 Good finish.\u00a0 This needs about seven to ten years until peak and should be good for another ten after that.\r\nAbout Mending Wall\r\nMending Wall is the product of three families and the thing that brought us together, our love of wine. Here, there are no rules. No expectations. Just the freedom to follow that friendship and to let it unfold and take us new directions.\r\n\r\n\r\nFRANK Dotzler, Proprietor\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor Frank, wine has always been rooted in romance and adventure. He bought a 20-acre parcel and set out to make a dream come true, naming the place True Vineyard. His winemaking philosophy came together at True.\r\n\r\n\r\nMARK Pulido & Donna Walker, Proprietors\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMark and Donna were both raised in pharmacy families, a practice that set the foundation for their winemaking philosophy. Their approach is one of scientific curiosity and a belief that to create anything great, one must walk a path of patience, discipline and determination.\r\n\r\nTHOMAS Rivers Brown, Winemaker\/Proprietor\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn 1995, Thomas left his home in the South and moved to California and he\u2019s been studying Napa Valley winemaking ever since. Thomas\u2019 approach is less by design and more by feel, to let the grapes and the land, and all of its incalculably subtle variables, determine how a wine is grown and produced. Because of this, no two of Thomas\u2019 wines are ever quite the same, each an embodiment of the place and conditions that created it.\r\nThomas is the youngest winemaker ever to receive a 100-point score from Robert Parker. (He\u2019s earned 20+ since.) He was awarded two 100-point scores from Wine Spectator, the first American winemaker to receive a perfect score. And Food & Wine Magazine named Thomas 2010 Winemaker of the Year. |
