Thomas George Estates
Thomas George Estates, owned and operated by the Baker family, is a Russian River Valley Winery dedicated to the production of handmade, small-lot wines that express the unique characteristics of each varietal and vineyard. We are proud to farm and produce chardonnay and pinot noir from our three distinct vineyards Baker Ridge, Starr Ridge and Cresta Ridge, all located in different parts of the Russian River Valley, and are committed to reinvigorating the tradition of producing artisan wines at our historic Westside Road Winery, located in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, CA.
738277 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2008 – Perfumed with candied pineapple and lychee nut, this classic tropical Sauvignon Blanc displays flavours of ruby grapefruit and lemon zest. Brilliant acidity elongates the finish on this single vineyard designate from the hills on the eastern edge of the Russian River Valley.
738278 Sonoma Valley Viognier 2008 – This highly aromatic Viognier is bursting with notes of citrus blossom, honeysuckle and jasmine flower. Completely stainless steel fermented, with no malolactic conversion, this dry wine possesses a textured mid-palate reminiscent of banana crème brulee, giving way to a bright and zesty long finish. Production: 364 cases
738275 Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2008 - Exhibits a sweet bouquet of buttery pear, apple and tropical custard with a hint of lemon zest. The immediate impact on the palate is that of apple pie. Mid-palate is sweet vanilla oak, pearl and apple fruit, followed by a surprising burst of acidity. The finish is crisp lemon peel which leaves a sense of chewiness felt in the cheeks. An overall well-balanced bright wine. Production: 200 cases
738276 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2007 – Our 2007 Russian River Pinot Noir comes from three different vineyards within the appellation, all harvested between Sept. 24 – Oct. 2 2007. The wine was barreled down and allowed to age for 10 months in French oak barrels. Shows a very expressive true Russian River Valley aromatic nose, bursting with floral cherry, dark plum, ripe strawberry, integrated with hints of leather, cinnamon and cocoa wood. The mid-palate is full, with bright acidity filling-out the backend. With its alluring classic Russian River characteristics this pinot noir is enticing and most approachable. Production: 950 cases
738274 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2007 – The wine is of deep colour, with hints of black raspberry, dark plum and vanilla. Blackberry, black pepper and chocolate lend themselves to its baking spice bouquet. Sweet black fruit, cherry cocoa tannins provide the front and mid palate while black pepper and black raspberry highlight the concentrated flavours through to the back palate. Production: 550 cases
