Jed Steele... made a name as Kendall Jackson winemaker who created the Vintners Chard blend.
Shooting Star 2010... grassy and herbal but with new zealand yeast that brings out just a little more citrus... pretty in the mouth. shooting star in one of the indian languages is Temcusah which I believe is Steele's middle name
Writers Block Roussanne 2009.. from lake county fruit... a touch of oak to round out the wine but at the temperature I had it served tasted more like a poor mans chardonnay.. usually more interesting than that.
Steele California Cuvee Chardonnay 2009.. oaky toasty nose, some new oak but not overly oaked.. still had some oak... california style anyone
Shooting Star Pinot Noir.. 2008 a nice starter pinot for people looking to discover if they like the grape or not... a touch of earth and a little caramel toast on the finish.
Steele Pacini Zin 2007 briary fruit and nose.. light and easy.. a good starter zinfandel.. not overly alcoholic.
Writers Block Syrah 2008 Lake County... sits with chard skins in fermentation.. nice and juicy but not a big finisher though.. again.. a good starter syrah.. they Grenache from this line is MUCH better..Writers block is made by Jed Steele's son.
