Winemaker Notes
The 2014 Lori's Lucky Penny Sauvignon Blanc opens with exquisite aromas of crisp white stone fruits and flintiness. Gentle swirling brings out the bright citrus notes and hints of passion fruit. The wine enters the palate with white nectarine, wet stone and lemon oil, a signature of Lori's Lucky Penny. A high acid fruit profile is flawlessly balanced by the rich texture of the tightest grain, water bent barrels. This careful and unique stave bending method allows us to let the fruit shine while still adding brilliant texture and complexity. This is French Oak integration at its very finest.
Brian and Lori Nuss wanted to produce a wine from their vineyards that reflected its distinctive Mt. Veeder Appellation. Mt. Veeder sits high above the Napa Valley, affording not only stunning views but a longer and cooler growing season above the morning fog. Well drained rocky, volcanic soils and low nutrient force the vines to work harder to survive, creating smaller berries that increase extraction and intensity, not usually found in valley floor wines.
A self taught viticulturist and winemaker, Brian planted their vineyards over 12 years ago, and with the help from the local winemakers learned to work with the harsh environment to produce quality grapes. Wanting to fulfill their dreams of making their own wine, the name Vinoce was created, and a new era of small family owned winemakers was born.
Meaning of Vinoce: (vin-o-chay) The name is a play on the winemaker's name and his German-Italian heritage. Nuss means "nut" in German. Noce is "nut" in Italian. Hence Vinoce means "wine nut."
