2007 Toad Hollow Chardonnay, Francine's Selection, Mendocino County

Nine months in all STAINLESS STEEL TANKS. NO WOOD! 100% malolactic treatment and was left on the “lees” for (8)eight months. This was done to maintain the acidity and to give the wine the middle mouth complexity desired. The vineyards used are 90% Mendocino County and 10% Sonoma County. The residual sugar is less than 0.2% (DRY). Alcohol is 13.76%….but due to the balance of Fruit VS. Acid, you don’t taste the “heat” 42,000 cases produced in the same fashion as the ‘93 vintage (our first) of which we produced 3000 cases. And we feel that the wine is every bit as good as our best vintage to date (‘94).

2008 Eye of the Toad Rose

The color is a beautiful pink with a hint of “Beaujolais blue”. This wine has a nose of rose petals and violets. Whether in sun or shade, this is a truly dry, uncomplicated statement of Pinot Noir at its lightest and most delicate which we proudly call our ROSÉ. There are many people out there that are bold enough to taste our Rosé and are converted to its single honest statement of “here come the grapes…grab some as they come by”. Spice and pepper bring out the wonderful wild strawberry flavors. A wine that is great with sushi and wasabi or spicy Thai food.
