2020 Angelica

$ 58.00 Save $ -58.00

Tasting Notes: Caramelized figs, Almond torte, Baked apples.

The Angelica is a very special – and very limited – dessert wine whose history starts with the beginning of California winemaking. Angelica was traditionally made into a sweeter-styled wine by Spanish missionaries who planted Mission grapes throughout California. Our Mission grapes hail from Deaver Vineyards’ 170-year-old vines, one of the oldest Mission vineyards in the state. The grapes were lightly fermented, fortified and barrel aged for over two years.

Silky smooth from slow aging, savor gentle caramelized figs, sandalwood, baked apples and baking spices on the nose. Rich notes of almond torte, vanilla and bergamot provide gentle warmth on the palate. The Angelica makes a great gift for a special occasion or shared year-round to cap an evening with friends. Enjoy with a slight chill.

VARIETAL:  100% Mission   

VINEYARD:  Deaver Vineyard    

LOCATION:  Amador County

2013 OLD VINE CARIGNAN

$ 78.00 Save $ -78.00

VINEYARD NOTES: Having saved a remarkable, exquisitely ancient vineyard from imminent Cabernetification, we continue to nurture its 130+ year old vines capturing a character unfound in mere 120-year-old vineyards. An original field-planted block, these Carignan plants are interspersed with Palomino (white variety from Jerez) and Alicante (a rare black-fruited vine that produces some of the darkest juice on the planet). Its decomposed sandy soils make it impossible for the vine-pest phylloxera to survive, leaving these some of the last remaining self-rooted vines in the state.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES: The winemaking process is as unique as the vineyard itself, taking inspiration from centuries-old tradition while adding our own signature. Pitchforked from bin to tank, the berries remain intact and protected with a constant blanket of C02 until their native yeasts begin to ferment the grape sugars from the inside out. A slow mortification breaks down the color components in the skins infusing the juice inside the still-unbroken berries with a vibrant red hue. When fully dry, it is pressed in microlots and ushered into its neutral oak and concrete vessels for the final stages of development. Bottled after 10 months, the 2013 Carbonic Carignan extolls the virtues of its pedigree. Amazing depth of flavor from these rugged, ancient vines is captured in the most transparent method we could devise.

2014 NERO D’ AVOLA

$ 70.00 Save $ -70.00

WINEMAKER’S NOTES: 100% de-stemmed. Fermented in clay vessels lined with beeswax. Pressed after fermentation and aged in a combination of clay and neutral French oak for 8 months. It tastes like classic Nero to me, and it’s an homage to some of the great Nero d’Avola’s of Sicily that I used to love drinking while working behind the bar at Terroir in SF.

VITICULTURAL AREA: These are grapes you do not see everyday! There are not many Nero d’Avola vines planted here in California - Lucky for us, there is some from Fox Hill Vineyard near Ukiah. 17- year-old vines on sandy / sandy loam soils.

2018 NERO D’ AVOLA

$ 62.00 Save $ -62.00

WINEMAKER’S NOTES: The Nero is fermented on the skins in amphora and left on the skins past fermentation. We basket press late January back into amphora to age for 8 months. It tastes like classic Nero to me, and it’s an homage to some of the great Nero d’Avolas of Sicily I loved drinking while working behind the bar at Terroir in San Francisco. It’s one of our favorite wines to make in the cellar.

VITICULTURAL AREA: These are grapes you do not see every day as there are not many Nero d’Avola vines planted here in California. We are lucky to have found Fox Hill Vineyard – where Nero is planted and thriving. The vineyard is in Mendocino County, located near Ukiah. The vines are around 20 years old and starting in 2019, the vineyard is farmed by Sam Bilbro and Evan Lewandowski. We are so excited about the future of the vineyard, as it will be in the best farming hands.

This is a true treat – the first vintage of our Chablis-style Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast AVA! You’ll find a unique expression of California Chardonnay with an effortless balance of fruit and acidity that is adored by both the wine novice and connoisseur. This vintage is drinking beautifully now. Pair it with anything freshly-plucked from the ocean.

Our Chardonnay is made from a modest allocation of vines in the Michael Mara Vineyard located just west of the Sonoma town square along the Sonoma Mountain range. It’s a distinctive site where the fruit receives a kiss of marine air and minerality from the rocky soil. We gently pressed the whole cluster grapes, fermented in steel tank and aged in neutral barrique.

2016 PICPOUL LUNA MATTA VINEYARD

$ 58.00 Save $ -58.00

WINEMAKER’S NOTES: Pressed whole cluster into our 600L concrete egg and allowed to ferment with spontaneous yeast. The concrete egg shape creates a small convection current that gently stirs the lees during fermentation, creating texture to accompany the natural high acidity that Picpoul typically has. We left the wine to age on the lees in egg for 11 months. The 2016 Picpoul has its typical lemony acidity. This wine is one of our smallest production wines, and is featured in our Broc Wine Club each year.

VITICULTURAL AREA: Our Picpoul grapes come from the limestone-rich, nutrient poor windswept Luna Matta Vineyard in the western hills of Paso Robles. It is a uniquely suited place just hospitable enough for most of the vines to survive and produce a few handfuls of grapes each year. Luna Matta Vineyard is certified organic with calcareous shale and sandstone soils. The vines are 18 years old.

2020 SOGI CABERNET PFEFFER

$ 48.00 Save $ -48.00

WINEMAKER’S NOTES: This is our first vintage working with Cabernet Pfeffer. We know that this varietal tends to have aggressive tannins, so we decided to ferment it using carbonic maceration. It was fermented in concrete, then pressed to neutral French oak barrels to allow the wine to breath. The wine was aged for 9 months. Cabernet Pfeffer is thought to be a child of Cabernet Sauvignon and Trousseau Noir but it is not proven. Some people believe it is Gros Verdot, but no one is certain so that is likely untrue. Dr. Pfeffer was a horticulturist in San Jose who identified the variety and named it! (Pfeffer is also the name for pepper in German). Sogi is a nickname for the area where the vineyard is located in relation to our winery. Broc Cellars is located on 5th and Gilman Street in the Gilman district of Berkeley. The vineyard is located South of Gilman – hence SOGI! The image is a Sugi – which is a cedar ball in Japan hung outside of sake breweries that we admire on our trips to Japan. We loved the idea of Sogi and Sugi!

VITICULTURAL AREA:The grapes come from 40 year-old Fannuchi Wood Road Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. When we received the fruit, the clusters looked like a mutation of both Trousseau Gris and Noir. Very excited to be working with this new vineyard. Farmed without synthetics or pesticides.
