Winemaking Notes
Cerruti Cellars is proudly into its second decade of making our Tractor Shed Red. The tradition began back in 1997 when Arnold’s son John dragged the family’s 1947 Massey-Harris tractor out of the weeds and displayed it in front of the old dilapidated tractor shed. To make a long story short, the shed got a face lift and that old ‘47 Massey-Harris looks pretty darn good sitting out front.
Tasting Notes
This vintage’s blend is made from Merlot, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, and 10% Cabernet Franc and is as unique as that ole Massey-Harris. As a result, there is up-front strawberry, cranberry, and currant with purple figs and anise on the finish. The tannins are soft, and there is a hint of smoky ceder.

Tasting Notes:
Sauvignon Blanc from the Napa Valley is the best of all worlds. It has the varietal characteristics of those from New Zealand – herbal, fresh notes typical of the variety – and the lusciousness that only the sun from California can give it. This Sauvignon Blanc is right in that sweet-spot. It has loads of grapefruit and lime peel aromas, with delicious bright juicy citrus, green apple and lemon-lime flavors. It’s also wonderfully balanced. The grapes for this wine come from the heart of the Napa Valley, specifically from the valley floor of Rutherford and Oakville, two of the outstanding winegrowing regions of California.
Serve it with ripe, soft cheeses, spinach tarts or dips.
This bottle is a tribute to the Canada Geese that seasonally migrate through the valley and nest behind the crush pad.

Winemaking Notes
The 2009 edition of Miss Merlene's Merlot Mer Blanc Rosé from the prestigious Alexander Valley in northern Sonoma County is sinfully delicious. The color is a cross between burnt sienna and coral rouge, while the aromas coming from the glass are of pink grapefruit. On the palate we have flavors of ruby orange with lots of sweet citrus, backed by some nice tingly acidity. Most of all, it goes down oh so effortlessly. The Alexander Valley consistenly produces some of the loveliest Merlot for Miss Merlene's rosé. The wine, with just a kiss of color from the skins of the grapes, also spent a little more than a few lazy days in neutral French oak barrels, which gave the wine its roundness and smooth texture.
So, while you sip this little luscious beauty, be sure to follow Miss Merlene on her yearly adventures through some of the world's hot—and cold— spots. In particular, follow her team of friends at the Kau'i Marathon in Hawaii September 5, 2010, which will be sponsored in part by Cerruti Cellars.

Winemaker's Notes
Tudal Winery is proud to introduce our 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon blend of Napa and Sonoma Valley wines. The Napa Cabernet comes from our original Old Vine vineyards planted in 1974. We source our Sonoma Cabernet from a small vineyard in the north end of Alexander Valley near Geyersville. This wine gathers the traditional fruity flavors from the cooler Russian River valley floor and pairs it with the earthy terroir from the old vines near the Napa River. We feel this blend is a wonderful example of two famous wine growing regions becoming one.

Tasting Notes
This wine represents a pleasant blend of three well established Napa Valley varietals: Zinfandel, Merlot, and Sangiovese. Our blend creates a wine full of spice, cedar, cherry and blackberry flavors. It is a complex yet sophisticated wine with mild tannins which stand up to a hearty meal. Drink this wine now or wait; in either case you will be rewarded.

Received 91 Points from Wine Enthusiast Magazine, March 2009!Winemaking Notes
Just a few miles north of the town of Napa, in the middle of the Oak Knoll District, lies the 3-acre Clift family vineyard. The fruit from this farm produces very small yet intense berries with concentrated flavor and color.
We so loved this 2005 Napa Valley fruit that we decided to make a single vineyard Clift Cabernet Sauvignon and bottle it under our Tudal Family label.
Tasting Notes
Gorgeous, perfumed floral nose combined with mixed dark fruit and black currant. Full-bodied with plum and berries on the palate, a round mouthfeel with earthy tannins on the finish. This is made in a very pleasing drink me tonight style.

Received 88 Points from Wine Enthusiast Magazine, March 2009!Winemaking Notes
Our Tudal Napa Valley Family Cabernet Sauvignon is dedicated to our family, friends and the many loyal wine enthusiasts who have been enjoying our wines for the past twenty-five years.
This wine, 100% Napa Valley Cabernet, is an equal blend of four Napa Valley Vineyards, two of which are our own Old Vine Vineyard and our more recently planted River Vineyard which gives this wine the depth and character that is all Tudal.
Tasting Notes
The Oak Knoll District of the lower Napa Valley provided us with a wine from very small yet intense berries that added a concentration of color and flavors. Grapes from a small hillside vineyard on the east side of the Valley rounds out this delightful wine with suggestions of cherries, spice and earthy aromas. Tudal Family Cabernet Sauvignon may be enjoyed now or cellared for many years.

Winemaking Notes
After 27 years of farming vegetables, Arnold Tudal 'retired' to the Napa Valley and purchased ten acres of land in the shadow of the Mayacamas mountains. Back then, the family relied upon flat bed trucks to get the job done on the vegetable farm in Alameda, California. This wine and label is a tribute to all those flat beds working the farms and vineyards in America.
