All wines will be available for purchase. “It’s an exciting time to visit the winery,” says co-owner Fran Replogle. “The grapes are fermenting, the vines are changing colors, and there’s a buzz of excitement.” The crush is in full swing at Fenestra, as the Production staff has already crushed twelve of this harvest’s varietals, including popular favorites like the Malbec, Grenache, Cabernet Franc, and this year’s hit, the Torrontes. They are estimating that they are one-third of the way through with the complete amount of varietals they will be crushing this season.“ When it’s warm like it has been, all the grapes seem to ripen at once,” says co-owner Lanny Replogle. “We’ve been very busy this harvest.” Fenestra is known for their wide variety of wines (the tasting room currently offers around 20) and their gift of blending, the most popular being their signature “True Red, Lot 22,” which is a table wine comprised of about 30 different varietals.

Since we feature white wines at this tasting, it is appropriate that three of these are white wines: 2004 Sauvignon Blanc, 2004 Pinot Grigio and 2004 Semillon. Both the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio are from Tom Bloomfield’s vineyard near Brentwood. Although this area isn’t noted for white wines, we have had great success with Viognier from Tom’s vineyard, so we thought we would try these other two varieties. Both are tasty, memorable wines. The Sauvignon Blanc is in the popular “New Zealand” style—grassy, herbal and crisp.
