Introducing the New Spell Wine Line Up!
by Spell Estate Wines, Tastemakers in Residence
Spell Spring Release 2018
Introducing the New Spell Wine Line Up!
We are very excited to announce the inaugural vintage of our 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon! Produced from Napa Valley grapes, this wine has deep powerful fruit, with flavors of blackberry and boysenberry and balanced by firm hillside tannins.
Go ahead, drink her now, but she would be happy to age in your cellar for another decade.
More Good News!
We are also delighted to be back in the juice, just in time for summer, with the 2017 Rosé of Pinot Noir!
We have missed you, our favorite little pink party wine! Just hurry...we never have NEARLY enough!
The 2016 Pinots will melt your hearts and leave you begging for more!
Dark, intense fruit concentration balanced by great acidity and plenty of tannins.
The wines provide deceptive minerality which will provide years of drinking enjoyment.
Andrew Berge, our amazing winemaker has made the most tantalizing compilation of wines to date.
We are so excited to share!

Spell Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Napa Valley| 50 cases produced
Winemaker Notes
We are proud to introduce the inaugural vintage of the Spell Cabernet. As with all the Spell wines, this wine is defined by its balance, true varietal character, and unique vineyard terroir. It exemplifies Napa Valley in its most noble and purest expression. Aromas of Crème de cassis, blackberry, violets, baking spice, mocha, and tobacco fill the glass. Flavors of blackberry, boysenberry, cocoa nib, and dried herbs are balanced by hillside tannins. Vibrant acidity extends the finish. Extremely pleasing now, the structure and acidity will allow this wine to age gracefully for a decade or more.

Winemaker Notes
One word to describe this beautiful wine: WOW! This complex wine possesses aromas of cherry cola, black cherry, espresso, Herbs de Provence, and rose blossoms. Seamless mid-weight flavors of cola, cocoa nib, and ripe red fruits coat the palate. Like the 2015 wine, the concentration of flavors and integration of tannin of this youthful wine truly speak for the quality of the 2016 vintage. Fans will enjoy this wine over the next 10+ years.

Winemaker Notes
A real show stopper. Inky purple color introduces this impressive wine. Intense aromas of roasted grains, ripe summer blackberries, vanilla crème, and violets fill the bowl. Flavors of ripe blackberries and blackberries are highlighted by hints of roasted coffee and chocolate. The finish possesses youthful, silky tannins that dance gracefully with blue fruit and umami flavors, lengthened with balanced acidity. Extremely pleasing now, but like all of the Spell single vineyard wines; designed to age. Drink now or over the next 10 years.

Spell Terra de Promissio Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016
Sonoma Coast| 49 cases produced
Winemaker Notes
This distinct wine is introduced by inky blue-red hues. Stimulating aromas of dusty sandalwood, cola, blackberries, chamomile, dried apricots, and rose hips stir the senses. Concentrated flavors of ripe cherries, chocolate covered raspberries, Santa Rosa plum and juniper, swim across the tongue. A rich, lingering finish is defined by flavors of black tea, ripe wild blackberries, and Bing cherries. Destined to age exceptionally well, but tremendously pleasing now. Drink over the next 5 to 10 years.

Spell Nichole's Blend Pinot Noir 2016
Sonoma County | 388 cases produced
Winemaker Notes
A deep inky blue-red color introduces this gorgeous wine. After a light swirl a mélange of ripe raspberry, Marionberry, streusel, sassafras, cedar, tobacco, and fresh cracked black pepper fill the bowl. The potpourri of aromas is matched on the palate. Decorated with suave tannins and bright acidy sappy red fruit and sassafras are tied together with goji berry and notes of blood orange. Lingering flavors of ripe raspberry and mocha bring closure to an extremely pleasing wine. Drink now, or over the next 5 to 7 years.

Winemaker Notes
A hazy light chartreuse color introduces aromas of ripe apples and stone fruits, orange oil, and reductive crushed rocks.
