Why am I so special?

Good question, why am I so special? Let's see.

Organic 2004 Merlot wine, from very rich and flavorful certified organic, estate grown, hand picked grapes for a starter.
Fermented with tender loving care without the addition of sulfites, and thus capturing all the delicate flavor essences developed from the long summer season of ripening the merlot grapes.
The 3 years of aging in beautiful Nadalie French and American oak barrels.
Unfiltered, unfined, delivering its true, natural flavors and silky texture. Certified Vegan.
A perfect wine to celebrate the end of a Great 2007. Happy New Year from all of us at Coates Vineyards!

2003 Zinfandel Release

175 cases produced
Total SO2-none detected, Vinquiry-TTB Certified Laboratory

The 2003 Zinfandel hits the glass a fiery red and settles to a deep garnet. Initial nose is of big, purple baking cherries with undertones of driftwood. It is dry and very spicey from the new American oak. The spiciness is liken to a bit of clove. A wine perfectly suited to popular American taste. What rounds the wine out best is the unique terroir of the Klamath River bottom, rich with minerals imparting an almost flinty dryness to the finish.
