" We don't sell the wine without touching the vine "
Wine from Mancinelli
Filter
In the early 1980s a young Stefano Mancinelli recognized the amazing potential of a local red grape that was all but extinct. Its tendency to develop fissures in the skin and drip precious juice when it is optimally ripe earned it the name lacrima (tears) it also earned it the disdain of the local growers who could not be bothered with this difficult grape. Stefano is specialized in Lacrima di Morro d’Alba and has a outside laboratory certify that his Lacrimas are 100%. A little Lacrima goes a long way and more unscrupulous growers are adding 15% into their Montepulciano or Sangiovese and marketing it as 100%.
But not Stefano who makes several versions of Lacrima di Morro d’Alba, all of them deeply colored ruby red wines with exotic bouquets of rose petal and violets.
Stefano Mancinelli, together with his son, Luca, insists on having complete control of his production from the vines and olive trees to the bottle. He takes complete responsibility for the quality of the bottles that bear his name.

Il Muro in Alto or the wall on high which was how this walled Medieval walled Borgo (town) was referred to in Medieval times.
Deep dark ruby red with violet reflections. Intense bouquet full of roses, violets and red berries. Vinous and dry with soft fruit and a velvety body.

Certified organic, ungrafted vines over 130 years old; a "grand cru" site of Paso Robles. Transcendent. Lovely sweet red fruits, loads of spice and pepper, violets, chalk, even a hint of pineapple grass on the nose. White stones and wild strawberries in a lovely pas de deux on the palate, with vibrant energy and finesse. What a knockout.
Review:
Broad-shouldered and powerfully structured yet detailed and stylish, with deep flavors of blackberry and cherry accented by bittersweet chocolate, orange peel and fruitcake spices that gather tension and richness on the slightly firm finish.

Long Shadows Dance Chardonnay is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Allen Shoup and winemaker Gilles Nicault have experimented with Chardonnay since the beginning of their collaboration on the Long Shadows Vintners project. The wine was fermented using a proprietary process to achieve a wonderful balance of richness and minerality. Two of Washington’s oldest Chardonnay vineyards provide the grapes for this limited production wine. Wente clone Chardonnay from French Creek Vineyard, east of Prosser – including a selection of old vine Chard (40%) – and Boushey Vineyard, north of Grandview, were chosen for the vibrant, lively character that defines Chardonnay grown on both these sites.
A layered, aromatic wine that displays minerality and white blossom fragrances with flavors of white peach, apple and a hint of baking spice woven throughout a subtle, creamy texture.
