Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Vibrant, bright and aromatic with notes of tropical fruit, green apple and citrus complemented by marzipan and honeysuckle. The wine is persistent on the palate and creamy on the finish. Hints of toast round out this beautiful, balanced wine.

Blend: 50% Pinot Noir, 48% Chardonnay, 2% Pinot Meunier

    This elegant, well-balanced wine is trim and compact, offering subtle crisp apple and bright lemon notes lightly accented by toast and ginger. Relatively light and restrained, it is wonderfully appetizing and will make a great aperitif.

    This is a blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier from California-wide sites; it undergoes its secondary fermentation in bottle to produce a delightful sparkler: powdery, lemony and bright on the nose, with a lively mousse and sweet citrus scents. The flavors are mildly sweet and bracing, framed more by minerality than by demonstrative acidity. A steal for celebrating.

    COMMENTARY: The Banshee Ten of Cups is complete from start to finish. The winery says, "Ten of Cups symbolizes harmony, joy, and abundance." TASTING NOTES: This wine deftly combines aromas and flavors of ripe apple and complex yeasty notes. Enjoy its creamy textures and crisp finish with an oven-roasted chicken.

In the relentless pursuit of wines with balance, elegance, and purity, they have developed relationships with some of the most storied vineyards in Sonoma County and beyond to craft Banshee. The main focus for Pinot Noir is on the cool, rugged, coastal areas of the far Western Sonoma Coast, Russian River Valley, Anderson Valley and Sonoma Mountain. Each vineyard has a unique combination of a specific influence, soil type, elevation, age and exposure but the common thread is that it allows the pursuit of Pinot that achieves power without weight. They allow the grapes to express a certain transparency. They highlight a wide range of flavors other than just fruit. Banshee Wines started in 2009 at a bar in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco. With money borrowed from their friends and family, Banshee Wines was launched with eight barrels of coveted Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. The Banshee belief is that the best wines from California are yet to be made...and they plan on producing some of them. They strive to makes wines with the complexity and deliciousness of those found at the very top of the quality and price scale, but at a price that is affordable for everyone and not just the uber-wealthy. The Banshee Tasting Room opened in August of 2013 in downtown Healdsburg, a refreshing and relaxed take on your typical tasting room. It’s more like hanging out at their house and sharing some wine with family, rather than bellying up to an ever-crowed tasting bar. Today the Banshee Wines mission remains the same as it was in those early days – to craft distinctive wines that over-deliver in every possible way.

California enjoys a long history and proven reputation as an admirable source of sparkling wines. Agoston Haraszthy, who established Buena Vista Winery in the mid 1850s, first attempted to make traditional method sparkling wine in California in the 1870s. Shortly thereafter Korbel followed, and with great success. Today domestic producers such as Schramsberg, Iron Horse and J. Wine Co remain at the forefront of the market.

Since the 1970s the state has consistently attracted the attention and investment of large and respected European and French-based firms who are responsible for Domaine Chandon, Mumm-Napa Valley, Roederer Estate and Domaine Carneros (Taittinger), to name a few. Anderson Valley and Carneros remain standout regions for top quality Pinot noir and Chardonnay for these.
