This wine isa well-balanced blend of 80% Cabernet, 10%Malbec,10% Petite Verdot. We harvested and vinified each ofthese grapes separately and barrel aged them for over 12months. We blended the different lots to create a wine with hintsof black cherry, dark chocolate and nuances of our characteristicCalistoga earthiness. The wine is then aged in 100% new French oakfor the final year to give it a light toasty, vanillamid-palate.

2009 Vincent Arroyo "Nameless"
Buy Now: $30.00

Nameless firstmade its appearance at the winery at a special release party duringBarrel Tasting in February of 2005. The wine started as anexperimental blend that Vince created, combining CabernetSauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. As customers visited thewinery during its creation, Vince often took them back and let themsample a wine that he hadn’t named yet----it was often referred toas “Winery Red” or “that no-name wine”, plus many other creativesuggestions too numerous to mention! However, “Nameless” stuck anda new blend was born!

With a deep garnet color, this beautiful wine was aged mostly injust over 50% new French Oak barrels. It has a developed structureand delicious flavors of sweet cherries, red currents, freshlygrated nutmeg and hints of dried meat. The finish is smooth with akick of tannins to remind us of the wine’s Napa Valley roots. Itsvibrant flavors are very enjoyable right now, or, if you canexercise your willpower, you will be rewarded 3-5 years from nowwith a velvety smooth Bordeaux blend.

Make this a Standing Order

We have a veryspecial idea of a Wine Club at Vincent Arroyo Winery - you designyour own "allocation" each year. We then reserve those wines foryou each year, and you can change that reservation at any time, soevery year you get exactly the wines that youselect.

How itworks:

We have developed a group of STANDING ORDER customers who haverequested annual reservations with us. To become a "standing order"customer, you must order wine online, purchase wine in our tasting room,or call us to make a purchase. At that time you need to let us knowthat you'd like these wines to become your "standing order". If youare ordering online, simply add this free "standing order" productto your cart along with your wines, and we'll be delighted to addyou to our reservation program. We will process your order andremember it for the future. You must order wine to become a standing order customer - youcannot order this "make this a standing order" product without alsoputting wine in your basket at the sametime.

In January of each year, we will then generate an invoice for youthat reflects your remembered "standing order" request, with thenewest vintage of each wine in the standing order. The invoice issent to you in the mail, along with instructions on how to confirmor modify your order for that year. Confirming the order requires a50% deposit to be paid in January, and the balance is charged whenthe wine ships in the fall.

The invoice is only a reservation until it has been confirmed. Ifwe do not hear back from you by January 31st, we will cancel theorder. Thereis no obligation in becoming a Standing Ordercustomer.

Once your Standing Order invoice is confirmed each year, you areassured of receiving those wines (many wines which sell out beforebottling). We bottle our wines each year at the end of the summer.The Standing Orders are shipped (weather permitting) or availablefor pickup after September 1st of each year.

Our Standing Order Customers are very important to us. As aStanding Order customer, we will offer you special releases thatmay run out before notice is sent to the mailing list.Additionally, you will have the first reminders of the events thatoccur at the winery each year.

2009 Vincent Arroyo Port (375 bottle)

2009 Vincent Arroyo Port (375 bottle)
Buy Now: $22.00

The PetiteSirah Port has been made at the winery since 1993. The wine isfortified with clear wine spirits, stopping the fermentationprocess about half-way through—this gives it the sweetness from thePetite Sirah fruit, but an increased alcohol from the wine spirits.The Petite Sirah Port is usually about 17% alcohol. Our Port is a“vintage” style Port. By definition, this means that the fruit isfrom one year only and the wine barrels age for a limited amount oftime (22 months). The wine is amazing now (lots of fruit) butdevelops into a rich, complex Port if cellar aged for manyyears.

Not to bemissed! As a tribute to Vince's we decided to try our hand athandcrafting this Spanish varietal. The results were beyondour expectations! Slightly heavier than our Sangiovese and alittle lighter than our Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is wellbalanced with lots of fruit. It pairs well with manydifferent foods and will age nicely in the years to come.

Our Winemaker’s Reserve Petite Sirah is blended to produce anoutstanding wine! We take parts of the different Petite Sirahvineyard blocks and identify the portions with the most fruit,color, aromas, tannins, and overall flavor.

The finished product is a wine whose toasty forwardness is aspectacular introduction to the wine, and balances perfectly withthe full-bodied blend. The Winemaker Reserve should be aged for atleast 5 years so that the individual components can integrate andproduce a smoother wine (although it is drinkable now!). This winewill be delicious in 10 years, so try and exercise some patienceand lay some down if possible.
