Robert Sinskey Vineyards

Fulfilling aromas and flavors of fresh pears, apricots, casaba melon and a hint of mineral-like complexity complimented by tart notes of kaffir lime.Though this wine sees no oak, it has a slight essence of yeasty toast. It starts lively on the palate then evolves into a round lengthy mouthfeel with a bright, refreshing finish. It is incredibly complex in its natural simplicity.This Pinot Blanc only comes in half-bottles and magnums, because you should either start with it or party with it! -...

Winegrowing Notes: I have a soft spot for Pinot Blanc. It is the underdog of the oenological world. Rarely is it given prime real estate, usually planted off to the side, that place where the soil isn’t very good, in the swale - or anywhere there is plantable land that couldn’t be better served by a more “noble” grape. Many times it is over-cropped to produce a reliable, if indistinct, quaffing wine. It does not get the respect it deserves. That is not the case at RSV. RSV gives Pinot Blanc...

Notes:The first sip reveals a wine with an Old World soul that is food-friendly with an age-worthy structure. It is balanced by a New World preciseness that highlights the impeccable red fruit. The fruit feels more fresh and textured than the aromas would suggest with crisp cranberry, pomegranate and blood orange adding lift to a bright and juicy mid-palate that leads to a long finish marked by the balance of savory, complex, supple-tannins and mouth-watering brightness. ** Only 1 in Stock ** ...

Notes: It is hard to be convivial in a pandemic. Our mission for the past 35 years has been to bring people together over the common bond of food and wine. Well, that mission has been altered a bit, at least for now. We can’t, for now, gather at that large, sixty person winery table for seasonal feasts with guests from around the world. I miss the summer food and wine festivals (mostly I miss seeing my friends at those festivals) and I can’t hop on a plane to share our wine at wine dinners in...

Thoughts: Hot Pink... In RSV’s thirty-eight years as winegrape growers and thirty-four vintages as winemakers, twenty-twenty was the most challenging. It should have been a “perfect” year… but it was far from it. Perhaps, despite the challenges, it provided a clearer vision as to the costs of ignoring nature. Hopefully, the examples of climate change-induced fires and record heat have brought us to a tipping point where we start paying attention to the needs of our natural environment and...

TASTING NOTES: A succulent rendition of POV with more fruit forward characteristics than the 2015 vintage. Fully ripened tannins balance the fruit with mouth-watering and mouth-filling flavors and textures. Elegant fruit characteristics of black and red berries, cherry compote and black plum are laced with notes of lavender, rose and dried herbs and framed by a delicate balance of French oak that elevates the aromatics and complements the richness. This sumptuous wine is ready to accompany a...
