For the Love of Wine: A look at Stoller’s Award-Winning Specialty Blends in the Summit Survival Kit

Helen’s Pinot Noir

Named after Bill Stoller’s aunt, this wine is made primarily from the Wädenswil clone of Pinot Noir. Helen’s has an elegant nose of ripe, succulent red fruit, which gives way to secondary notes of earth and rose petals. The palate is vibrant with a delicate tension that is supported by flavors of ferrous minerality and red fruit through a long finish.

HISTORY - Red Blend

The 2017 History Red Blend, creates a confluence of time and place showing the nuances of vine age and varietal typicity - the embodiment of History.  Comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon (71%), Malbec (20%), and Merlot (9%), the nose flirts between deep, concentrated purple notes like cassis and blackberry and bright red fruits like dried cranberry. On the palate, the wine exhibits the balance of all the varieties playing together with opulent fruit, fresh earth, caramelized sugar, and baking spice. Enjoy alone or alongside a meal.

Reserve Chardonnay

Our Reserve Chardonnay is a blend of some of our oldest Dijon vines on the property, planted between 1995 and 2000. Whole cluster pressed to mitigate phenolics, this wine was barrel fermented with native yeast. With only 50% malolactic conversion, our Reserve Chardonnay expresses aromatics of lemon curd, flint, white blossom, and wet stone. The palate meets the nose with a citrus vibrancy, revealing a luxurious mouthfeel due to extended lees contact and balanced use of oak.
