Description

Winemaker’s Notes: “To be a good winemaker is to be a good listener. We spend entire seasons listening to the vineyard, trying to balance the vine to its environment, water with the vine’s need, adjusting to the cycles. We watch the shoots, the clusters, the canopy and the cover crop. We put our ear to the proverbial ground at harvest, weighing the ripeness of the fruit with the health of the vine, the weather, projected remaining heat in the season, rain fall…. And “hear” when it is time to pick. We spend years listening to the wine in barrels, does it need more oak? Is it too tannic? Will it age longer? Does it need to be bottled? I have spent 14 years listening to the Livermore Valley appellation and this spot, this valley, these vineyards with their history, they give me perspective. Leave the overwrought Cabs to the North, the mist enshrouded Pinots to the West. Give me glorious floral. Give me fruit driven blends. Let me hear the Grenache, the Petite Sirah and the Syrah grapes that enjoy deep soils, heated summers, and afternoon bay breezes only the east bay experiences. Put these varietals together, grown in this place, and the Livermore Valley pulls back the veil to bring you into its fold. This blend says “place”, it says “unique”, it says “Livermore Valley” like no other blend can.” Dane Stark, winemaker Tasting notes: Beautiful dark red with ruby edges and deep purplish towards the center. This wine opens with ripe berries, a back bone of oak, layered cassis, smoke and dense fruit. The palate is dense and pleasing, with medium tannins, a lengthy and full mouthfeel. It finishes long with ripe fruit, dark berries a touch of oak and a lengthy underlay of spice. The smoke on the final palate is notable. It should age gracefully.

Page Mill Winery

Page Mill Winery started, yep, on Page Mill Rd in Los Altos Hills!!!! In 1976, Dick Stark and wife Ome dug a hole under their home and began making wine. Son, Dane, joined the operation in 1989 and for 28 years operated the winery on Page Mill Rd until, in 2004, a decision was taken to move to Livermore Valley in order to expand production and have a dedicated tasting room. Since that move, many things have changed including size (we're much bigger now) quality (we are receiving more awards and medals than ever before) and fruit sourcing (today we are 95% Livermore Valley appelation wines) but one thing remains the same.... We are striving at Page Mill for "Peace through wine, one glass at a time" winemaker Dane Stark
