February is American Heart Month, and at Harvest Ranch Market we believe that providing our customers with healthy choices and a healthy education go hand in hand. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Over 800,000 Americans died from heart attacks and other cardiac illnesses last year, but most of those deaths, four out of five, were preventable.
With a few key tips from a world-renowned heart expert you can be on your way to building a healthy heart that will last a lifetime.

“Forget the competing headlines, the best way to eat heart healthy is to follow national guidelines from organizations like the American Heart Association,” says Preventitive Cardiologist Lori Mosca, MD, founder of Columbia University Medical Center’s Preventitive Cardiology Department.
Here are a few tips:

• Eat a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and fiber.
• Eat fish at least twice a week.
• Limit the amount of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol you eat. Only 30% of your daily calories should come from fat, with very little of that from saturated fat.
• Select fat-free, 1% fat and low-fat dairy products.
• Cut back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet.
• Limit your salt intake.

Ready to step up to a diet rich in the healthy nutrients your heart craves? The experts recommend starting here:

• One way to make sure that your diet is rich in fruits, vegetables and fiber, and low in saturated fat, is to divide your plate at each meal: half vegetables, 1/4 high-quality protein and 1/4 for fish or a very lean meat. And remember, you should get your nutrients from foods themselves, the antioxidants and other heart-healthy goodies found in foods like blueberries, beans and artichokes don’t pack the same punch when they are not in food form. And avoid fad diets, advises Mosca. “Almost every one may result in short-term weight loss but leave you weighing even more a year later, and preventing weight gain is one of the best ways to prevent developing heart disease risk factors.”

Wine's for this week:

Friday, April 19th, 2013

Lineup: Featuring Wines of California Meritage $20.00

Here are the wine's we will be sampling:

• 2011 Bridesmaid White ($19.99)
  Barbie Blonde yellow a very pleasing color greets the eye and hibiscus flowers, lime blossom, kumquat, loquat stone, Yosemite minerals for the nose. Just the right amount of crispness satisfies the senses and finishes round and creamy like the meringue on a pie. Definitely pop corks on this wine and have a party!
• 2006 Stonestreet Fifth Ridge ($34.99)
  “The 2006 Fifth Ridge Proprietary Red (a 3,500-case blend of 63% Merlot and 37% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a straightforward, richly fruity effort displaying notes of roasted herbs, bay leaf, mocha, coffee, and red berry fruit. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.” Robert Parker Wine Advocate 87+ Points!
• 2008 Bridesmaid Napa Red ($39.99)
  Cabernet Cauvignon 30%, Merlot 29%, Malbec 18%, Cab Franc 14%, Syrah 7%, Petit Verdot 2%. Blue and red make purple, right?! Dense color for the eyes and profuse berries and flowers greet the nose. Black cherry, blueberry, red rose petals, pipe tobacco all knit together for this big juicy mouthful. Oh so smooth finish with lots of length. All in this is a very seductive wine. Meritage gone wild, that's what Bridesmaid wines are all about. With their red blend, proprietors Pam Starr (Crocker & Starr) and Drew Neiman (Neiman Cellars) are going for full-flavored, whimsical blends of Bordeaux varieties, wines that are grown and produced with all the class Napa Valley terriore has to offer.
• 2006 Kristen Story Soiree ($39.99)
  A profound offering of ripe blackberries, pomegranate, fleshy currant, wild plum, dark chocolate and caramel flavors is found in the 2006 Kristian Story Soirée Estate Meritage. The supple, silky, fine-grained tannins grace a soft finish. Will be at its peak between 2010 – 2015.
• 2009 Leviathan Red ($49.99)
  If you're a fan of California cult wines, then you're probably familiar with the name Andy Erickson, who followed Heidi Peterson as winemaker at Screaming Eagle and has gone on to start or consult on a series of successfull labels including Favia, Ovid, Dancing Hares, Jonata and, of course, Leviathan. This formidable blend of 28% Syrah, 26% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Cabernet Franc comes from the same exceptional sources as Erickson's Favia wines, fit together like a puzzle. Ground pepper and coffee aromas are in the foreground, slowly revealing briar fruit, cherries, cedar, chocolate and cinnamon scents that are echoed on the palate. Full-bodied with round tannins and solid acidity, this powerful wine is already satisfying.

Saturday, April 20th, 2013

Lineup: Featuring Wines of Carneros $20.00

Here are the wine's we will be sampling:

• 2008 Domaine Carners Brut ($29.99)
  This vintage brut from Domaine Carneros is comprisied of 57% Pinot Noir and 43% Chardonnay. It is the signature wine of the estate, which was founded by the Champagne house Taittinger in 1987. The grapes were completely sourced from certified organic estate vineyards in Carneros.
  “A festive bubbly, with pretty floral cherry and lemon notes that lead to round, supple flavors of pear, raspberry and spicy vanilla. 90 points Wine Spectator!
• 2010 Merryvale Chardonnay ($29.99)
  “Tight, with taut citrus, green pear, honeysuckle and spice notes that are slow to unfold. Most interesting on the finish, where creamy oak adds a nice touch. Drink now through 2018. 2,362 cases made.” –JL Wine Spectator 88 Points!
• 2008 Donum Chardonnay ($54.99)

• 2010 Sean Minor Pinot Noir ($19.99)
  Our Pinot Noir fruit is a blend of Pommard and Dijon clones from carefully selected vineyards in the Carneros region. All grapes are hand-picked at night and early mornings to keep the fruit at optimal temperatures. The fruit is then de-stemmed into bins and placed into open top fermenters. The fruit is cold-soaked for 3 days prior to initiating fermentation. Once fermentation begins, each tank is punched down two to three times per day to maintain consistent contact between the must and pommace throughout fermentation. Once the wine is fermented dry it is racked to barrels for completion of malo-lactic fermentation.
• Donum 2009 Pinot Noir ($74.99)
  “A pleasant earthy, loamy quality gives way to plush flavors of plum and black cherry, with wonderful finesse and generosity. Aromatic floral notes are seductive, and the finish goes on forever. Highly Recommended- Drink now through 2022. 400 cases made.” –MW  Wine Spectator 94 Points WOW!

Wine's for this week:

Friday, April 19th, 2013 Lineup: $15.00

Here are the wine's we will be sampling today:

• Husch 2011 Sauvignon Blanc Mendocino ($13.99)
  The tradition of Husch Sauvignon Blanc began back in 1980, when the first Sauvignon Blanc crop from La Ribera Vineyards was harvested. The resulting wine – only about 200 cases – was an instant success. A tradition was born and the loyal following for Husch Sauvignon Blanc has continued to grow over the years.
  When harvesting Sauvignon Blanc several passes are made through the vineyard to gain the wide spectrum of tastes and aromas which make this wine so special. Fruit that is picked earlier in the season offers a grassy component to the wine. Fruit picked later in the season typically has a tropical fruit character. This mixed approach yields a wine that is complex and nuanced with its flavors. The wine is cold fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, preserving the crisp character of the varietal. The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc has zesty aromas of guava, lime, passion fruit and grapefruit. The wine’s brilliant acidity enlivens the palate which is exploding with citrus and tropical fruits, as well as a fantastic minerality. A faint note of grass balances this wine’s well-integrated fruit and crisp, yet slightly viscous texture. The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc is very versatile and pairs well with a wide array of foods from across the globe; Mexican, Thai, Greek or Indian cuisines all have flavors that play synergistically with this refreshing wine. Seafood, grilled asparagus or a crisp green salad with a Chévre topped crostini would also be a tantalizing treat for the palate.
• Roth 2010 Sauvignon Blanc Alexander Valley ($19.99)
  Roth Estate is committed to making wines with the truest and best expression of the diverse and idyllic growing conditions in Sonoma County. The 2010 Roth Sauvignon Blanc displays aromas of fresh flowers and dried citrus notes. On the palate, the wine is bright and refreshing with balanced notes of grapefruit, key lime and fresh tropical flavors. Fermented entirely in stainless-steel tanks, it has bright acidity and a minerality accent in its crisp, persistent finish. alcohol by volume: 13.2%. critical acclaim: "Pretty and delicate, featuring floral and white pepper aromatics that complement the lemon, pear and apple flavors. Sleek, showing a well-integrated, crisp acidity. Drink now. 15,000 cases made." 89 Points Wine Spectator
• 2010 Jules Taylor Wines Pinot Noir Marlborough ($19.99)
  The wild fermentation along with extended lees maturation in a barrel has added complexity and texture to the palate on this Pinot Noir. This has created a supple wine with good weight and fruit intensity, which is already showing chocolate and cherry aromas mingled with hints of oak. The wine has a wonderfully vivid, violet hue.
  Vinification The grapes for this Pinot Noir were grown in the Awatere and Brancott Valleys and picked by hand from late March as optimum ripeness was reached in each block. The wine was fermented completely using indigenous yeast and combined with rigorous hand plunging to ensure a good extraction of colour and tannins. Portions of the blend remained on skins post fermentation, while others were pressed at dryness and then transferred to French oak and stainless steel barrels for maturation.
• Avalon Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 Napa Valley ($19.99)
  Our 2010 vintage shows aromas of plums, cranberries, allspice and dried ginger with barrel notes of cedar box. The blend of 88% Cabernet, 9% Merlot and a splash of Sangiovese and Zinfandel truly is reflected in its flavors. The dark, jammy core drinks of boysenberry pie, black cherry preserves and currants. Medium in weight, the wine shows silky tannins and just a touch of barrel spice. Pair this versitile Cabernet Sauvignon with everything from burgers, ribs, lasagna, or chicken Parmesan to smoked Gouda or cheddar cheese. It's also perfect to enjoy a glass before dinner or with friends.
  alcohol by volume: 13.8%
• Orin Swift Cellars "D66" Grenache 2009 (Maury, France) ($34.99)
  D66 is the inaugural release from our new winery and vineyards in Maury, France. The small town of Maury is in the outer Roussillon very close to the Spanish border and nestled in the Pyrénées-Orientales. We own approximately 235 acres (93 ha.) of mostly Grenache vines with a little Syrah and Carignan. The majority of the vines were planted more than 60 years ago, with many of the vineyards being even older. The terrain is dominated by black schist with a couple small deposits of Granite and Limestone in red rocky soils known as Angile. Schist is a crystalline rock based soil that retains heat well but is poor in organic nutrients and nitrogens. In other words, these vines really have to struggle. The result is a very dark, concentrated, and rich wine. We can't say enough about this town, its people and the vineyards. With the help of our General Manager Richard Case and Vineyard Manager & Cellarmaster Bob Doyle, we hope to make a wine we can be proud of. Tasting Notes: The wine has a very dark, opaque red color with subtle aromas of toasted oak, ripe blueberry jam and dried rose petal. The entry is mouth coating and lush. Opulent plum and ultra ripe cherry are balanced with asian spices and a bright vein of minerality and acidity that give great structure, weight and balance to the long finish. The tannin chains are long and will lend to ageability for 5 to 10 years. 80% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 8% Carignan. 15.2% Alc./Vol. Aged in 100% French Oak, 25% new for 12 months. Bottle aged 10 months prior to release. Release date – May 5, 2011

Keenan 2009 Chardonnay

Spring Mountain District – Napa Valley

The finished wine shows citrus, ripe pear and green apple in the nose. Hints of lush white peach are noticed as the wine opens up. The sur-lie aging has added richness and complexity, and plenty of oak character returns on the finish. Like all of Keenan’s wines, this Chardonnay is food worthy wine whose crisp acidity and medium body will accompany a wide variety of fare.

Our Featured Wines:

2009 Torii Mor Pinot Gris Willamette Valley

Winemaker’s notes:
Our 2009 Pinot Gris aroma begins with floral notes, a mix of honeysuckle and dried herbs, perhaps a touch of mint, followed by notes of ripe pears and more floral-herbal accents. The flavors show a crisp acidity, with a sweet entry and the same herbal-floral characters of the aroma. The ripe pears flavor co-mingles with the dried herbs to bring the taste to a long lingering finish. The wine texture is rich and round with a very light touch of spritziness. The finish is oily and long with lasting spiciness, fruitiness and freshness.

Critical acclaim:
“Bright and silky, delivering a lively mouthful of pear, apple, melon and floral flavors that persist nicely.”
90 Points

Wine Spectator:
“The 2009 Pinot Gris Willamette Valley has a bit of barrel fermentation in large neutral oak casks. It is light straw-colored with an enticing perfume of melon, tangerine zest, and floral notes. Medium-bodied, dry (the residual sugar is right at the threshold of perception), and spicy, it is meant for drinking over the next 1-2 years. 90 Points

The Wine Advocate Mt Difficulty Pinot Gris 2007 Central Otego

The warm dry vintage of 2007 has resulted in aromas of white peach and nectarine. The palate displays luscious fruit in the same vein, while the mid palate is full, creamy and well textured. The wine has a rich grapefruit driven finish.

Winemaking Considerations:
The grapes for this wine come from four of our Bannockburn vineyards; Templars Hill, Long Gully, Bannockburn Bay and Ferris. The fruit was hand harvested in top condition from the 5th April to the 4th of May: it was harvested at 23.3-24.40Brix, ~3.2pH with an acidity ranging from 7.8-8.5gL-1. The fruit was processed in a reductive manner, with the juice settled overnight and racked slightly cloudy the following morning. The wine was fermented cool, to help maximize varietal character. All the components were left on gross yeast lees for three months post fermentation with weekly stirring. These techniques were used to help enhance the complexity and textural aspects of the wine.

2006 Merlot, Napa Valley 30th Anniversary

TASTING NOTES
Keenan Winery is located in Spring Mountain District, high in the Mayacamas mountain range above the town of Saint Helena. Fifteen acres of Merlot vines have been planted in the rocky soils surrounding the winery, and it is these vines that produce some of the finest Merlot in Napa. The vineyards are situated above the dense layer of fog that creeps up the Napa Valley most evenings. Consequently the vines warm up earlier in the morning and stay warm through the night. The combination of warm temperatures, steep hillside vine rows and gravelly soils promotes more stress on the vines leading to increased intensity in the finished wine.

The ’06 Merlot has been aged in thirty-three percent new French and American oak barrels for eighteen months. The resulting wine shows intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and cassis. Complex nuances of cocoa and coffee bean emerge as the wine opens up. This is a “big” Merlot that will age for many years to come.

Corvidae “Rook” 2008 Red Blend Columbia Valley

Corvidae Wine Company’s “Rook” blended red wine is a crowd-pleaser. A little more than half of the fruit for this wine comes from the organically farmed Ironbird Vineyard in the Applegate Valley in Southern Oregon. Here the fruit hangs well into late October which delivers exuberant fruit flavors and tremendous color. 34% comes from St. Isidore Vineyard in Walla Walla on the Oregon side of the AVA. The remaining 15% is from Erickson Vineyard in the dry Columbia Valley. This site gives more complexity to the wine and riper flavors.
Owen Roe’s logo for Rook says:
”Lucky at cards…”
Corvidae’s Rook is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot. The ripe and rich Cabernet flavors prevail – juicy loganberry, cassis, and a base note of black plum and cherry. Syrah adds richness, and Merlot smooth’s the velvet finish.
As we’ve come to expect, Owen Roe has created another amazing value.
”Corvidae” is named for the family of birds that includes crows and ravens. Crows have a long history in folklore and mythology. David was inspired to name the label Corvidae by the many crows that circle the sky over his winery in Yakima.
With a robust nose of rich black cherry, mocha, and a whiff of Syrah smoke, this is definitely not a shy wine. Lots of ripe fruit flavors are here, with cassis and plums dominating, but it’s all kept in balance by ample acidity and chewy tannins. Pair this big red with almost anything off the grill, a hearty beef stew or richly red sauced pasta.

2005 Jake-Ryan Cellars Zinfandel, Bald Mountain, Napa

Located 1900-2100 feet in elevation, this vineyard is dry-farmed and terraced to accommodate the altitude and steep slopes of the mountain. Temperatures tend to be cooler than in most parts of Napa Valley; however, the vineyard is generally clear and sunny when the Valley is blanketed with fog. This Zin is bursting with aromas of cherry, raspberry and blackberry, with some integrated caramel and vanilla notes. In the mouth there are flavors of ripe cherry, rhubarb, and blackberry preserves with cedar and spice characteristics adding a punch of complexity and personality.

This week’s featured wines:

2006 Domaine Carneros by Taittinger Brut Sparkling Wine California
Harvest Ranch Price: $29.99

Description: Domaine Carneros by Taittinger 2006 Brut Sparkling Wine. Festive and vibrant, but rich and complex, with bright aromas of fresh cherry and lemon that lead to luscious flavors of raspberry, yeasty pear and crisp mineral. Rated 91 Points The Wine Spectator, November 2009

History:In the late 1970’s, Claude Taittinger, the president of Champagne Taittinger, proclaimed his faith in the future of American wines and began the search on U.S. soil for a suitable winery site. In 1987, Champagne Taittinger, along with partner Kobrand Corporation, selected a 138 acre parcel in the heart of Carneros, a viticultural appellation they recognized to have the potential to produce world class sparkling wines. Also in 1987, Claude Taittinger selected Eileen Crane to oversee the planning and development of the property, as the winery’s first and only winemaker.


Tobin James Radiance Chardonnay Monterey County
Harvest Ranch Price: $14.99

Description: Intense fruit; pineapple, grapefruit, mango, kiwi, and more, gush from the glass. The luscious tropical flavors overwhelm your senses.


OWEN ROE 2008 Ex Umbris Syrah Columbia Valley
Harvest Ranch Price: $24.99

Description: Deep plum and dark cherry perfume precedes the velvety texture with bushels of blackberry, peppercorn and black licorice playing against plush tannins.

History: ‘Ex Umbris’ is Latin for ‘out of the shadows’. Originally made as a one-off due to a wildfire that resulted in tremendously smoky grapes, this wine has become a NW signature Syrah. The current vintage is a blend of fruit from Mike Sauer’s Red Willow Vineyard, Art DenHoed’s Erickson Road Vineyard, and Bruce Morford’s Slide Mountain Vineyard, each located in western Yakima Valley. The blend is balanced by fruit from the cooler, smoky Lewis Vineyard in The Dalles, and the unctuous fruitiness of Elerding Vineyard located in Alderdale, WA.

2007 Caravel Cabernet Sauvignon California
Harvest Ranch Price: $12.99

Description: Versatile, this wine can pair with a filet of beef, a leg of lamb, or a good old fashioned cheese burger! Varietal blend: 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Merlot, 1% Petite Verdot

History: Our 2007 Caravel Cabernet Sauvignon offers an amazing value from this prized vintage in California winemaking history. Praised as one of the best years in history for California Cabernet, we at Caravel feel that we were able to steal our seat on this thrill ride before it was too late! Sanguine and scarlet colors are complemented by ripe berry and plum aromas with a touch of toasty oak and vanilla. On the palate, dark fruit flavors are framed and balanced by silky tannins and bright acidity; a lingering finish conjures up memories from a day’s past. We sourced our grapes from California’s best coastal growing regions, known for producing Cabernet with rich, concentrated fruit flavors and balanced complexity. Gentle handling enabled us to minimize bitterness, warm fermentation maximized color and flavor extraction. The firm structure of the Cabernet was tempered with the Petit Verdot, which added depth, a hint of smoke, and juicy red berry fruitiness. The wine was aged one year in new and used American and French oak.

2007 Hess Collection Mount Veeder 19 Block Cuvée Napa Valley
Harvest Ranch Markets: $39.99

Description: Vintage: 2007
Blend: 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Malbec, 4% Syrah, 4% Merlot,
