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
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.

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.

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.

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.

Received 92 Points from Wine Enthusiast Magazine, March 2009!Winemaking Notes
Tudal Winery has been producing premium Cabernet Sauvignon since 1979. As a tribute to the Canadian Geese who migrate over our riverside vineyard, we proudly dedicated our first vintage of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, Honker Blanc. This second vintage Honker Blanc is crisp yet fruity and is the solo white wine we produce since Arnold's 1981 Chardonnay.
Tasting Notes
Honker Blanc is fermented in stainless steel to preserve the natural flavor and character of the grapes. Up front, note the ripe green apple flavor followed by a kiss of grapefruit and citrus. Low acidity enhances the honeydew melon on the finish.
Our winged spokesperson recommends serving this wine slightly chilled with a light pasta, seafood or game hens, but never with goose!

Winemaking Notes
"Mer-Blanc" is a special name chosen for this delightful and delicious blush wine that is made from the Queen of the red grapes, Merlot. After pressing the grapes immediately to leave behind the dark colors and harsh tannins, only the delicate and fruity aromas remain in the wine to be fermented. Fresh, smooth and fragrant, Mer-Blanc is bottled young to capture the essence of fruity white wine, but with the complexity of a rosé wine. Enjoy the “Queen” at her regal best!

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.
