Sheldon Wines

Last stop of the day and we run into an old buddy from Siduri of many years ago! JODY! He’s shilling for Dylan and Tobe of Sheldon wines and doing a good job of it! For what it’s worth, since Lisa took over the tasting notes at Siduri, these are also almost all hers.

2010 Vinolocity Blanc $30/$22/$25Only 100 cases produced. Very nice nose; crips but not tart at all. Nutty, with notes of apricot.

2007 Sleepy Hollow Old Vine Chardonnay, Monterey County $36/$30/$35Notes of pineapple; oaky and a little bit tropical. Unfiltered with 100% malolactic fermentation. Yummy!

2008 Krutz Chardonnay, Sleepy Hollow Chardonnay, Santa Lucia Highlands $38/-/$29A little too sweet for my nose, but Jamie likes it. That palate is very smooth and creamy.

2007 Sheldon Pinot Noir Main Coast $28/$24/$25Very light spice and light red fruits, light-bodied, summer pinot

2008 Sheldon Vinolocity $36/$31/$20100% Grenache
Not much of a nose for me. Jamie said a “good Grenache”. I didn’t get the strawberry I look for.

2009 Weatherly Cuvee $42/$35/$3250% Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon / 50% Petite Sirah
You can really smell the petite sirah in this nice round wine. Light on the body but still has some complexity.

2007 Deviant Velocity $28/$23/$35Nice full nose; a bit of syrah smell, or is it gin, or is it cab…no it’s petite sirah. Too light for Jamie, doesn’t have enough punch. Lisa likes the relaxed taste.
