Wines Pouring

  • 2020 Emeritus Vineyards Hallberg Brut
    Russian River/Hallberg Ranch
    Expand
    White gold in appearance with aromas of dried apricot, Asian pear, lemon meringue, curing hay, and a touch of umami comes in graceful waves. Upon tasting, a fine, energetic mousse spreads immediately across the palate. The texture and flavor contribution from 21 months “en tirage” bring crushed stone notes that will help this wine pair with a wide variety of cuisine. The 2020 Hallberg Brut displays a beautiful level of rich maturity and palate weight balanced with a taut freshness that engages the senses.
    Suggested Retail Price: $80
  • 2022 Emeritus Vineyards Hallberg Blanc
    Russian River/Hallberg Ranch
    Expand
    This wine opens with intense white nectarine and orange blossom aromas, followed by crushed stone, cashew, and honeycomb. On the palate it effortlessly glides in all directions, with notes of Meyer lemon, fresh cream, sweet white corn, and mandarin. This vintage is a classic example of this wine, which perfectly harnesses the balance between voluptuous texture and vivacious energy. To experience all its expressive beauty, we recommend serving this wine a little below cellar temperature.
    Suggested Retail Price: $42
  • 2020 Emeritus Vineyards Hallberg Ranch
    Russian River/Hallberg Ranch
    Expand
    Tiny berries and thicker skins make for a heady and opulent 2020 Hallberg Ranch Pinot Noir. It pumps out volumes of candied fruit, faded rose petal, blood orange, and sweet spicy seed aromas. As it opens up, secondary notes of Asian spice, tamarind, and potpourri are revealed. It smells serious and sweet, and the mouth follows suit. In typical Hallberg fashion, its acidity is beautifully balanced by a smooth oily quality that never feels heavy.
    Suggested Retail Price: $48
  • 2017 Emeritus Vineyards Don's Block
    Russian River/Hallberg Ranch
    Expand
    This is our most refined and classically styled Pinot Noir. Smelling this wine is like walking through a cherry orchard as the blossoms swirl in the breeze. Aromas of cherry pie, hard cherry candy, peach pit and sweet, fresh-cut hay dance above the glass, along with hints of orange rind and an underlying nuttiness. On the palate, there is a graceful concentration to the focused red berry flavors. At the same time, fine tannins and a beam of vibrant acidity provide a mouthwatering structural element. As it evolves, the cherry, orange zest and floral notes become ever-more pronounced, drawing the wine to long, shimmering finish.
    Suggested Retail Price: $115

Description

Founded by legendary vintner Brice Cutrer Jones in 1999, Emeritus Vineyards is dedicated to making America’s finest Pinot Noir. To achieve this goal, Emeritus established a grand cru-caliber estate program featuring 140 acres of dry-farmed Pinot Noir at two vineyards: Hallberg Ranch in Russian River Valley and Pinot Hill on the Sonoma Coast. Today, Emeritus is stewarded by second-generation President Mari Jones, Winemaker Keith Hammond and Vineyard Manager Kirk Lokka, who embrace a philosophy that great wines are shaped by three factors: soil, climate, and people. The distinctive soils of Hallberg Ranch and Pinot Hill allow Emeritus to dry farm its grapes, resulting in remarkably deep root structures, while the cool climate of these renowned sites give the wines their pure, soaring flavors. Last, but most important, the experience, wisdom and passion of the Emeritus team give the wines their spirit, creating Pinot Noirs of unparalleled elegance, integrity, and purity.
